Created by Prof. Hyung Joon Cha and colleagues at Korea's Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), it's a hydrogel made up of alginate (derived from algae), a bioengineered mussel ...

In DNA, 2-deoxy-D-ribose molecules link together through phosphate groups to form a sugar-phosphate backbone. This backbone ...

The general applicability of the system is demonstrated with the creation of layered hydrogels from both chitosan and alginate, which are cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes, respectively.

The newly developed hydrogel precursor comprises alginate (natural polysaccharide derived from brown algae), RGD peptide-containing mussel adhesive protein, calcium ions, phosphonodiols ...

To solve this problem, researchers designed a hydrogel coating using calcium alginate and chitosan, which is loaded with an anti-inflammatory drug called dexamethasone sodium phosphate.

A team of researchers from South Korea’s Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) has engineered an injectable ...
