Electrochemical Hydrogel Lithography of Calcium-Alginate Hydrogels for Cell Culture

Here we propose a novel electrochemical lithography methodology for fabricating calcium-alginate hydrogels having controlled shapes. We separated the chambers for Ca2+ production and gel formation with alginate with a semipermeable membrane. Ca2+ formed in the production chamber permeated through th...
