Enriching a cellulose hydrogel with a biologically active marine exopolysaccharide for cell-based cartilage engineering

The development of biologically and mechanically competent hydrogels is a prerequisite in cartilage engineering. We recently demonstrated that a marine exopolysaccharide, GY785, stimulates the in vitro chondrogenesis of adipose stromal cells. In the present study, we thus hypothesized that enriching... View More
