Calcium alginate can be associated with BC to create gels that aid in wound debridement and contribute to appropriate wound healing. This study is aimed at characterizing and evaluating the use of ...

A simpler method for making microgels using ionic bonds, which are easier to break than covalent bonds, has been developed by ...

In this paper, we proposed a direct writing method for 3D cell assembly based on the electrode deposition of calcium alginate. Sodium alginate solution ... By applying voltage on the electrodes, the ...

Abstract: Hydrogel microcapsules provide well-defined and biocompatible platforms for 3D cell culture, which is greatly desired for replacing, or enhancing the function of damaged human tissue and in ...

Enzyme-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (EICP) techniques are used in several disciplines and for a wide range of applications. In the oil and gas industry, EICP is a relatively new technique ...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is assisting in a multistate investigation on the use of contaminated non-sterile ultrasound gel for ultrasound-guided percutaneous procedures. Reports ...
