Researchers have developed modified alginate hydrogels that can endure the growth of bacteria, allowing them to synthesize important enzymes. Encapsulating cells -- both prokaryotic and eukaryotic -- ...

Polysaccharides represents an abundant class of biopolymers, of which cellulose in trees and chitin from Crustacea are common examples. Alginates from seaweed have high affinity to divalent cations ...

A novel ε-poly-L-lysine-loaded sodium-alginate/gelatin hydrogel (PSG15) has shown exceptional promise in accelerating the healing of infected wounds. This multifunctional injectable hydrogel delivers ...

Alginate-based biomaterials have emerged as a pivotal area of research in bioengineering due to their remarkable biocompatibility, abundance, and ...

3D-printable gels with improved and highly controlled properties can be created by merging micro- and nano-sized networks of the same materials harnessed from seaweed, according to new research from ...

Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes. But they never do it the same way twice, which makes it hard to use these so-called 'organoids' to study disease. Now, ...

3D-printable gels with improved and highly controlled properties can be created by merging micro- and nano-sized networks of the same materials harnessed from seaweed. The findings could have ...
