Chitosan-Gelatin Blends
We have successfully captured cell-containing agarose microbeads in larger chitosan-gelatin-agarose blended hydrogel microbeads. Chitosan-Gelatin blended hydrogels have been implicated as useful ma...

Thanks Cindy! Isolating protoplasts from suspension culture cells is much easier than from fully developed leaves because there ends up being so much less debris, so its not that bad. It sounds like what you were doing is similar in principal to this project. It's interesting to think about how e...more
