Cation-mediated gelation of the fucose-rich polysaccharide FucoPol: preparation and characterization of hydrogel beads and their cytotoxicity assessment

This study describes for the first time the iron- and copper-mediated gelation of FucoPol, fucoserich bacterial polysaccharide. The ability of FucoPol to gel in the presence of metal cations, including iron(III) and copper(II), was used for the preparation of hydrogel beads. Iron mediated the format...
