Self-mineralizing Ca-enriched Methacrylated Gellan Gum Beads for Bone Tissue Engineering

In this study, methacrylated gellan-gum (GG-MA) heteropolysaccharide is proposed as a hydrogel for drug delivery and bone tissue engineering applications. Calcium-enriched beads obtained from the crosslinking of 1% (w/v) GG-MA solutions with 0.1 M CaCl2 were investigated, considering their intrins...
