Removal of Mn (II) by Sodium Alginate/Graphene Oxide Composite Double-Network Hydrogel Beads from Aqueous Solutions
TL;DR: The Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) results indicate that the GO/SA double (GAD) network hydrogel bead strongly interpenetrate and the adsorption of Mn(II) is mainly influenced by solution pH, bead dose and temperature.

Time-responsive osteogenic niche of stem cells: A sequentially triggered, dual-peptide loaded, alginate hybrid system for promoting cell activity and osteo-differentiation.
Zuyuan Luo,Siqi Zhang,Jijia Pan,Rui Shi,Hao Liu,Yalin Lyu,Xiao Han,Yan Li,Yue Yang,Zhixiu Xu,Yi Sui,En Luo,Yuanyuan Zhang,Shicheng Wei +13 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that independent and sequential stimulation in proliferation and osteo-differentiation stages could synergistically enhance the survivability, expansion, and osteogenesis of hMSCs, as compared to stimulating alone or simultaneously.
