Customization and tuning of the degradation rate of X-Ca-Alginate aerogels in the presence of PC 12 cells

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how to customize the degradation rate of X-Ca-Alginate aerogels to enhance nerve regeneration.
• Developed X-Ca-Alginate aerogels.
• Tested materials with PC 12 cells to assess interaction.
• Measured degradation rates over time.
• Customized aerogels showed varying degradation rates.
• Positive cell growth observed on aerogel surfaces.
• Indicated potential for improved nerve repair strategies.
