Silica@proton-alginate microreactors: A versatile platform for cell encapsulation

As an alternative approach to the well known Ca(II)-alginate encapsulation process within silica hydrogels, proton-driven alginate gelation was investigated in order to establish its capacity as a culture carrier, both isolated and embedded in an inorganic matrix. Control over the velocity of the pr...
