A composite hydrogel membrane with shape and water retention for corneal tissue engineering

Tissue engineering (TE) cornea is one of the most potential alternatives to the shortage of corneal donors in cornea transplantation. Sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel is commonly used as scaffold in TE. Herein, we present an approach to construct a composite hydrogel, which with SA fiber skeleton struc...
