Alginate-Iron Speciation and Its Effect on In Vitro Cellular Iron Metabolism.
Alginates are a class of biopolymers with known iron binding properties which are routinely used in the fabrication of iron-oxide nanoparticles. In addition, alginates have been implicated in influencing human iron absorption. However, the synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles employs non-physiologi...
