Alginate hydrogel has a negative impact on in vitro collagen 1 deposition by fibroblasts [PDF]
Hydrogels have been widely investigated as 3D culture substrates because of their reported structural similarity to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Limited ECM deposition, however, occurs within these materials, so the resulting “tissues” bear little ...
