Photo-cross-linked laminarin-based hydrogels for biomedical applications

Laminarin is a low-molecular-weight (<10 kDa) glucan found in brown algae made up of β(1→3)-glucan with β(1→6)-branches. This is one of the most abundant carbon sources in the marine ecosystem. Laminarin has been found to possess various biological interesting properties, such as antioxidant and...
