Reviewed by Lexie CornerA recent article published in Applied Surface Science Advances describes the bioprinting of nanostructured patches composed of sodium alginate (NaAlg), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and indocyanine green (ICG), either freely dispersed or encapsulated in liposomes. Three formulations were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to investigate their surface morphology and structural characteristics.
