Mechanical performance and biocompatibility study of methacrylated Gellan gum hydrogels with potential for nucleus pulposus regeneration

Methacrylated gellan gum hydrogels, obtained either by ionic- (iGGMA) and photo-crosslinking (phGG-MA), have been investigated as potential biomaterials for supporting nucleus pulposus (NP) regeneration and/or repair [1,2]. In previous work, some advantages were attributed to GG-MA hydrogels, such a...
