Injectable gellan gum hydrogels as supports for cartilage tissue engineering applications

Gellan gum is an extracellular microbial polysaccharide from Sphingomonas paucimobilis that forms a firm and transparent gel in the presence of metallic ions. This hydrogel presents some in- teresting features that allow its use as a cell encapsulating support, or as an in vivo injectable system. In...
