Biofabrication and Characterization of Alginate Dialdehyde-Gelatin Microcapsules Incorporating Bioactive Glass for Cell Delivery Application.

The effect of the incorporation of 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) microparticles (mean particle size ≈ 2 µm) on the fabrication and physicochemical properties of alginate dialdehyde-gelatin hydrogel capsules is investigated. The addition of BG particles decreases the hydrogel gelation time by ≈79% and 91% for the samples containing 0.1% w/v and 0.
