Gellan gum/tannic acid hydrogels for cartilage repair: the versatile role of tannic acid as green crosslinker conferring antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties

A novel hydrogel, containing two gellan gums with different acyl content crosslinked with tannic acid and magnesium ions, was proposed as cartilage substitute. In addition to crosslinking, tannic acid was employed as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound. The analytical characterization of t...
