Xanthan gum increases hydrogel viscosity and stability by interacting with gelatin through hydrogen bonds, which promotes cell growth and creates a favorable microenvironment for cell differentiation. It also induces pro-inflammatory responses by elevating TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 levels, making it useful for inflammation and immunology research.
