A new nanocomposite membrane uses layered fiber design to combine strength, flexibility, and antibacterial function for improved bone regeneration.

Since alginate gels have a porous structure, a filling material such as starch and a chitosan membrane coat was applied to provide stability and reduce bead permeability.

Based on this structure and using the resources of the MareNostrum 5 supercomputer at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center — Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS), the UB team has ...

This research reports a method to fabricate a loop-shaped vessel-like channel for perfusion of culture medium in a cell-laden collagen gel. We used alginate fibers as sacrificial structures for ...

We demonstrate that tuning the porosity of high molecular weight macroporous alginate hydrogels enables rapid rates of stress relaxation and mechanical stability in cell culture medium. Macroporous ...

Evidently, by adding alginate to chitosan, the spatial structure and shape of the crystals do not change due to the non-shifting of the characteristic peaks; however, at low to medium degrees of ...

Calcium alginate particles suffered different damages, depending on the solvent they were put in contact. Water did not damaged the Ca-alginate structure with or without Ca present.

Also, the formation of a compact and dense structure is a characteristic of calcium alginate films, which indicates the involvement of Ca 2+ ions in the alginate polymer chain. (27) By adding ...

Structure–Thermodynamic Relationship of a Polysaccharide Gel (Alginate) as a Function of Water Content and Counterion Type (Na vs Ca) Avery A. Agles* ...
