In vitro enzymatic degradation of a biological tissue fixed by alginate dialdehyde.

Highlights: [•] We used alginate dialdehyde (ADA) for biological tissue fixation. [•] The degradation of the fixed biological tissues was evaluated thoroughly. [•] The ADA-fixed tissues could degrade gradually over time. [•] It might provide a successful example of the applications in tissue engineering. [•] This is a study which has not been reported elsewhere. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
