• Alginate and tunicate nanocellulose composite microbeads – Preparation, characterization and cell encapsulation 

      Kjesbu, Joachim Sebastian; Zaitseva-Zotova, Daria; Sämfors, Sanna; Gatenholm, Paul; Troedsson, Christofer; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Strand, Berit Løkensgard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Alginate has been used for decades for cell encapsulation. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) from tunicates are desirable in biomedicine due to high molecular weight, purity, crystallinity, and sustainable production. We prepared ...
    • Injectable In Situ Crosslinking Hydrogel for Autologous Fat Grafting 

      Oskarsdotter, Kristin; Nordgård, Catherine Taylor; Apelgren, Peter; Säljö, Karin; Solbu, Anita Akbarzadeh; Eliasson, Edwin; Sämfors, Sanna; Sætrang, Henriette Elisabeth Myhr; Asdahl, Lise Cathrine; Thompson, Eric Malcolm; Troedsson, Christofer; Simonsson, Stina; Strand, Berit Løkensgard; Gatenholm, Paul; Kölby, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Autologous fat grafting is hampered by unpredictable outcomes due to high tissue resorption. Hydrogels based on enzymatically pretreated tunicate nanocellulose (ETC) and alginate (ALG) are biocompatible, safe, and present ...
