Sr2+ vs. Ca2+ as post-processing ionic crosslinkers: implications for 3D bioprinting of polysaccharide hydrogels in tissue engineering

Among the possible ionic crosslinkers Ca2+ is the most widely used. However, due to its numerous physiological functions, other cations such as Sr2+ may be more suitable depending on the application. Because a systematic comparison is currently lacking, this work aims to compare solutions of CaCl2 a...
