Engineering injectable alginate hydrogels for mesenchymal stem cell delivery: comparative evaluation of ionic crosslinking strategies and early in vitro outcomes
Injectable hydrogels are widely investigated as carriers for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs); however, the influence of ionic crosslinking strategy on injectability-relevant properties and early in vitro cell responses remains insufficiently defined from a design perspective. In this study, alginate-based hydrogels were...
