Abstract

applications. Also, a macroscopic diffusion experiment with a model solute (Rhodamine-6B) was performed to identify the hydrogel with the highest transport performance. The study's results indicate that BGs with natural hydrogels, particularly agarose, are a promising approach for future cancer therapy and warrant further preclinical and clinical research.
