Fig. 17From: Alginate-based hydrogels as drug delivery vehicles in cancer treatment and their applications in wound dressing and 3D bioprintinga Chemical structure of the alginate sulfate and nanocellulose. Incorporation of the two biomaterials generates an ideal bioink which is appropriate for the 3D bioprinting of complex constructs. Here a miniature size eare was 3D bioprinted (scale bar is 5 mm). b and c Viability assessment of chondrocytes and Live/dead staining of bovine chondrocytes respectively, encapsulated in alginate and alginate sulfate with or without nanocelloluse after 1, 14 and 28 days of culture. The scale bar is 100 μmBack to article page
