Hydrogel-Forming Ability and Characterization of Exopolysaccharide (EPS) from <em>Porphyridium cruentum </em>for Wound Healing Applications
2026-03-13
Abstract excerpt
Marine exopolysaccharides (EPS) are emerging as sustainable bioactive polymers for biomedical hydrogels. Here, we report hydrogels from sulfated EPS produced by Porphyridium cruentum and ionically crosslinked with Ca²⁺, Ce³⁺, or Cu²⁺ to generate tunable networks for wound-healing applications. Rheological analysis showed that viscoelastic behavior was primarily governed by cation nature and accessible binding-site...
