Dissolution of copper mineral phases in biological fluids and the controlled release of copper ions from mineralized alginate hydrogels
Abstract
Here we investigate the dissolution behaviour of copper minerals contained within biocompatible alginate hydrogels. Copper has a number of biological effects and has most recently been evaluated as an alternative to expensive and controversial growth factors for applications in tissue engineering. Precise control and sustained release of copper ions are important due to a narrow therapeutic window of this potentially toxic ion, and alginate...
