  • Sulfated alginate hydrogels for cell culture and therapy
    Patent number: 10980887
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing an embedded mammalian cell, comprising the steps of providing an alginate sulfate in aqueous solution; reacting the alginate sulfate to form a hydrogel in a gelation step, providing a precursor cell, and embedding the precursor cell in the sulfated alginate hydrogel in an embedding step, thus yielding an sulfated alginate hydrogel embedded cell. The invention further relates to sulfated alginate hydrogels, and cellular grafts comprising a mammalian cell embedded in sulfated alginate hydrogel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 20, 2021
    Assignee: ETH ZURICH
    Inventors: Marcy Zenobi-Wong, Gemma Palazzolo, Rami Mhanna, Jana Becher, Stefanie Moller, Matthias Schnabelrauch
