In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility evaluation of k-carrageenan hydrogels aimed at applications in regenerative medicine

Introduction The development of biomaterials for biomedical applications always requires extensive biological testing to demonstrate the safety of both the material and its degradation components. K-carrageenan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide which forms a hydrogel with potassium ions and th...
