The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Alginate-Based Biomaterials for Regenerative Medicine Applications (2013, background): “The advantage of injectable therapies for cartilage repair is that the implant is not only maintained within the defect, but also allows immediate weight-bearing due to the stiffness and strength that is achieved almost instantly [112–114].”
Engineering cartilage tissue. (2008, background): “Differentiation has been achieved in high density micromass cultures [93,94], and in alginate [95–97], agarose [95], and collagen-based scaffolds [95,98].”
Natural-origin polymers as carriers and scaffolds for biomolecules and cell delivery in tissue engineering applications. (2007, background): “There are several commercially available gelatin based carriers for drug delivery that are being applied in tissue engineering applications [48,56,57].”
Alginate: properties and biomedical applications (2012, background): “The chondrogenic potential of human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) suggests these cells as a possible cell source for cartilage regeneration, and chondrogenic differentiation of hASCs seeded in alginate gels was greatly improved in the presence of TGF-β1 [143].”
