Graphical abstract: alginate hydrogels with hyaluronic acid and Mn3O4 nanozymes, their characterisation and in vitro microglial response

Our work on encapsulating microglia in nanozyme-loaded hydrogels has been published in Nanomedicine. Alginate hydrogels were combined with low- and high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid or with Mn3O4 nanozymes, then characterised for swelling, solute diffusion and reactive-oxygen-species scavenging, and assessed for cytocompatibility and the inflammatory phenotype of encapsulated microglia.
