Alginate-Derived Oligosaccharide Inhibits Neuroinflammation and Promotes Microglial Phagocytosis of β-Amyloid
TL;DR: The results suggested that AdO exerted the inhibitory effect on neuroinflammation and the promotion effect on microglial phagocytosis, indicating its potential as a nutraceutical or therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioprintable tough hydrogels for tissue engineering applications.
TL;DR: The scope of transition from 3D to 4D bioprinting and some of the advanced characterization techniques for in-depth understanding of the 3D printing process from the microstructural perspective are discussed, along with few specific applications.
