Sequential ionic and thermogelation of chitosan spherical hydrogels prepared using superhydrophobic surfaces to immobilize cells and drugs

Chitosan is soluble in acidic media, which makes it incompatible for the encapsulation of cells and pH-sensitive molecules. In this work, a mild chitosan-based system with two sequential gelation steps is proposed, where the model drug dexamethasone and L929 cells are immobilized inside hydrogel bea...
