Development of chitosan/alginate/silver nanoparticles hydrogel scaffold for soft tissue engineering applications

A biodegradable scaffold in tissue engineering serves as a temporary skeleton to accommodate and stimulate new tissue growth. Alginate (Alg) and chitosan (Chi) are both popular materials applied as biomaterials or bioimplants. However, Alg derived from brown algae is highly compliant and easily deco...
