Diagram of an alginate hydrogel showing stiff guluronic acid blocks (G-blocks) on adjacent polysaccharide chains cross-linked by divalent calcium ions (Ca2+) in an egg-box arrangement, forming a three-dimensional network. At the hierarchy level, monomeric sugar residues build polymer chains that assemble into a hydrogel matrix, a biomaterial used as an extracellular matrix (ECM) mimic. In biomaterials science and polymer chemistry, this network functions as a cell-encapsulation scaffold and drug-delivery reservoir, with unbound segments providing flexibility between cross-linked nodes.
