A cell-cultivable gel based on a polysaccharide “sacran” has been developed. Although the conventionally produced sacran gel does not show cell adhesion, it achieved compositing with collagen, which has cell adhesion, and showed its potential as a cell scaffold. The feature of this study is that the gelation of sacran was controlled by the addition of salt, and the composite with collagen was achieved for the first time.
