Alginate Methacryloyl (AlgMA) is a modified form of sodium alginate that is designed to solidify into a gel when exposed to UV or visible light, using a photoinitiator. This innovative light-curing method offers superior portability and produces gels with excellent internal uniformity compared to traditional methods that use divalent ions such as calcium. The resulting AlgMA hydrogel features a three-dimensional structure that is conducive to cell growth and differentiation, and contains active chemical sites for further reactions. This hydrogel is particularly valuable in various biomedical applications.
