[PMID: 38744133 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
This study explores the molecular interactions and structural changes in κ-carrageenan crosslinked with isovanillin to create a biocomposite material suitable for hard capsule and bio-degradable packaging applications. Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy revealed chemical changes in the conjugate molecule, indicating improved electronegativity due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding between κ-carrageenan and isovanillin. Time-of-flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analysis revealed enhanced ion intensity due to intermolecular interactions, particularly between sulphate and hydrogen ions. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) study demonstrated that κ-carrageenan and isovanillin form stronger hydrogen bonds, with a shift in binding energy indicating higher electronegativity. These findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms that underpin the formation of the biocomposite material, as well as its potential for use in hard capsule and biodegradable packaging materials, addressing the need for sustainable alternatives in the pharmaceutical and packaging industries while also contributing to environmental conservation.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133312. [PMID: 38914406 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
Recently, polysaccharide-based hydrogels crosslinked with the trivalent iron cation have attracted interest due to their remarkable properties that include high mechanical stability, stimuli-responsiveness, and enhanced absorptivity. In this study, a Fe3+ crosslinked hydrogel was prepared using the biocompatible extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) secreted by the marine bacterium Alteromonas macleodii Mo169. Hydrogels with mechanical strengths (G') ranging from 0.3 kPa to 44.5 kPa were obtained as a result of the combination of different Fe3+ (0.05-9.95 g L-1) and EPS (0.3-1.7 %) concentrations. All the hydrogels had a water content above 98 %. Three different hydrogels, named HA, HB, and HC, were chosen for further characterization. With strength values (G') of 3.2, 28.9, and 44.5 kPa, respectively, these hydrogels might meet the strength requirements for several specific applications. Their mechanical resistance increased as higher Fe3+ and polymer concentrations were used in their preparation (the compressive hardness increased from 8.7 to 192.1 kPa for hydrogel HA and HC, respectively). In addition, a tighter mesh was noticed for HC, which was correlated to its lower swelling ratio value compared to HA and HB. Overall, this preliminary study highlighted the potential of these hydrogels for tissue engineering, drug delivery, or wound healing applications.

Abstract
Developing extracellular matrix-derived hydrogel with a fast self-healing capacity to provide a sustainable moist environment able to accelerate wound healing is highly desired for full-thickness skin wound repair. In this study, a fast self-healing hyaluronic acid hydrogel with a dual dynamic network was constructed through a primary reversible acylhydrazone bond formed between aldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid, 3,3'-dithiobis (propionyl hydrazide) (DTP), and secondary dynamic ionic interactions between κ-carrageenan (KC) and K+. Because of the presence of various dynamic covalent bonds such as the acylhydrazone bond, disulfide bond, and noncovalent bonds including hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions, as well as the notable thermoreversible nature of KC, the resultant hydrogel could be self-healed rapidly within 30 min under physiological temperature with a self-healing efficiency of 100%, which was significantly better than other hyaluronic acid hydrogels, as reported previously. Besides, the hydrogel displayed excellent cytocompatibility. According to this study, the hydrogel was administered into the wounds and achieved a superior performance of promoting full-thickness skin wound healing by increasing granulation tissue formation, deposition of collagen as well as the acceleration of re-epithelialization and neovascularization, compared to commercial products, e.g., gauze and 3 M hydrocolloid. We also anticipate that this strategy of double-dynamic network cross-linking can be adopted to fabricate self-healing materials for multiple applications.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration is a clinical disease that reduces the quality of patient's life. The degeneration usually initiates in the nucleus pulposus (NP), hence the use of hydrogels represents a promising therapeutic approach. However, the viscoelastic nature of hydrogel and its ability to provide biomimetic architecture and biochemical cues influence the regeneration capability. This study focused on tuning the physical nature of a glycosaminoglycan hydrogel (κ-carrageenan) as well as the release kinetics of a chondrogenic factor (kartogenin - KGN) through physical cross-linking. For this, κ-carrageenan was cross linked with 2.5 % and 5 % potassium chloride (KCl) for 15 and 30 min and loaded with KGN molecule at 50 μM and 100 μM. The tight network structure with low water retention and degradation property was seen in hydrogel cross-linked with increased KCl concentration and time. However, optimal degradation along with NP mimicking viscoelastic nature was exhibited by 5 wt% KCl treated hydrogel (H3 hydrogel). All hydrogel groups exhibited burst KGN release at 24 h followed by a sustained release for 5 days. However, hydrogel cross-linked with 5 wt% KCl enhanced chondrogenic differentiation, mainly at lower KGN dose. In summary, this study shows the potential application of biomimetic KGN laden carrageenan hydrogel in NP regeneration.

Abstract
Wound healing can result in complex problems, and discovering an effective method to improve the healing process is essential. Polymeric biomaterials have structures similar to those identified in the extracellular matrix of the tissue to be regenerated and also avoid chronic inflammation, and immunological reactions. To obtain smart and effective dressings, bioactive agents, such as essential oils, are also used to promote a wide range of biological properties, which can accelerate the healing process. Therefore, we intend to explore advances in the potential for applying hybrid materials in wound healing. For this, fifty scientific articles dated from 2010 to 2023 were investigated using the Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, and PubMed databases. The principles of the healing process, use of polymers, type and properties of essential oils and processing techniques, and characteristics of dressings were identified. Thus, the plants Syzygium romanticum or Eugenia caryophyllata, Origanum vulgare, and Cinnamomum zeylanicum present prospects for application in clinical trials due to their proven effects on wound healing and reducing the incidence of inflammatory cells in the site of injury. The antimicrobial effect of essential oils is mainly due to polyphenols and terpenes such as eugenol, cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, and thymol.

Characterization and performance evaluation of colorimetric pH-sensitive indicator based on Ҡ-carrageenan/quince seed mucilage hydrogel as freshness/spoilage monitoring of rainbow trout fillet. Food Chem 2024; 457:140072.

Abstract
The aim of research was to fabricate a novel indicator by using κ-carrageenan and quince seed mucilage (QSM) hydrogels and red cabbage anthocyanin. The porosity of the hydrogel was controlled using different ratios of κ-carrageenan(C):QSM(Q) (C90:Q10, C70:Q30, and C50:Q50). The hardness of hydrogels decreased from 28.6 ± 0.3 N for C90Q10 to 11.0 ± 1.0 N for C50Q50 sample. However, according to field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis, the C50R50 sample had the best morphology with smooth surface and uniform interconnected porous network. Hydrogen bonding interactions among anthocyanins, QSM, and κ-carrageenan were confirmed by Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The indicator showed a color variation from red to yellow over the pH range of 2-12. Also, the indicator exhibited high sensitivity to ammonia vapors (SRGB = 115%) and good color stability. The C50QRA indicator was used for monitoring rainbow trout fillet spoilage and revealed a visually-detectable color change from red to green upon detecting total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content produced throughout storage at 4 °C. Generally, the halochromic hydrogel developed in this research can be suggested as a more sensitive and accurate freshness indicator than conventional indicator solid supports.

Abstract
Development of outstanding, cost-effective and elastic hydrogels as bioadhesive using Thiol-Ene click chemistry was verified. The visible light photocrosslinkable hydrogels composed of methacrylated chitosan/2,2'-(Ethylenedioxy) diethanethiol formed in presence of eosin-Y photoinitiator. Such hydrogels hold great promise for wound healing applications due to their tunable properties. Main components of hydrogels were extensively characterized using spectroscopic techniques for chemical analysis, thermal analysis, and topologic nanostructure. Various optimization conditions for best gelation time were investigated. Mechanical properties of tensile strength and elongation at break (%) were verified for best wound healing applications. Optimum hydrogel was subjected to for cytotoxicity and microbial suppression evaluation and in-vivo wound healing test for efficient wound healing evaluations. Our results demonstrate the potential use of injectable hydrogels as valuable bioadhesives in bioengineering and biomedical applications, particularly in wound closure and patches.

Abstract
κ-Carrageenan (κ-Car) is an important material for preparing food gels and hydrogels. However, κ-Car gel has issues with high hardness and low water-holding capacity. Modification strategy of micronization is proposed for the first time to explore its influence on texture properties and gelling process of κ-Car gel, and to investigate the feasibility of κ-Car as a food matrix with low strength. κ-Car undergoing 60 min of micronization, the d(0.9) decreased by 79.33 %, SBET and Vtotal increased by 89.23 % and 95.27 %. The swelling rate and degree of gelling process increased significantly, and the microstructure changed from loose large pores to dense small pores resembling a "honeycomb". Importantly, the hardness of gel-60, Milk-60 and PNS-60 decreased by 72.52 %, 49.25 % and 81.37 %. In addition, WHC of gel-60, Milk-60 and PNS-60 was improved. IDDSI tests showed that κ-Car gels, milk gels and PNS gels can be categorized as level 6 (soft and bite-sized), except for PNS-60, which belongs to level 5 (crumbly and moist). Furthermore, the texture and bitter masking effect of milk gels and PNS gels were improved. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that micronization can be a novel approach to improve the gel properties of κ-Car, laying the groundwork for developing dysphagia foods.

Abstract
It is well established that solutions of both polymeric and oligomeric κ-carrageenan exhibit a clear change in optical rotation (OR), in concert with gel-formation for polymeric samples, as the solution is cooled in the presence of certain ions. The canonical interpretation - that this OR change reflects a 'coil-to-helix transition' in single chains - has seemed unambiguous; the solution- or 'disordered'-state structure has ubiquitously been assumed to be a 'random coil', and the helical nature of carrageenan in the solid-state was settled in the 1970s. However, recent work has found that κ-carrageenan contains substantial helical secondary structure elements in the disordered-state, raising doubts over the validity of this interpretation. To investigate the origins of the OR, density-functional theory calculations were conducted using atomic models of κ-carrageenan oligomers. Changes were found to occur in the predicted OR owing purely to dimerization of chains, and - together with the additional effects of slight changes in conformation that occur when separated helical chains form double-helices - the predicted OR changes are qualitatively consistent with experimental results. These findings contribute to a growing body of evidence that the carrageenan 'disorder-to-order' transition is a cooperative process, and have further implications for the interpretation of OR changes demonstrated by macromolecules in general.

Abstract
The successful tissue engineering depends on the development of biologically active scaffolds that possess optimal characteristics to effectively support cellular functions, maintain structural integrity and aid in tissue regeneration. Hydrogels have emerged as promising candidates in tissue regeneration due to their resemblance to the natural extracellular matrix and their ability to support cell survival and proliferation. The integration of hydrogel scaffold into the polymer has a variable impact on the pseudo extracellular environment, fostering cell growth/repair. The modification in size, shape, surface morphology and porosity of hydrogel scaffolds has consequently paved the way for addressing diverse challenges in the tissue engineering process such as tissue architecture, vascularization and simultaneous seeding of multiple cells. The present review provides a comprehensive update on hydrogel production using natural and synthetic biomaterials and their underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, it delves into the application of hydrogel scaffolds in tissue engineering for cardiac tissues, cartilage tissue, adipose tissue, nerve tissue and bone tissue. Besides, the present article also highlights various clinical studies, patents, and the limitations associated with hydrogel-based scaffolds in recent times.

Zhao L, Li J, Ding Y, Sun L. Preparation and Characterization of a Novel Longzhua mushroom Polysaccharide Hydrogel and Slow-Release Behavior of Encapsulated Rambutan Peel Polyphenols. Foods 2024; 13:1711. [PMID: 38890937 PMCID: PMC11171559 DOI: 10.3390/foods13111711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2024] [Revised: 05/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Natural polyphenols have drawbacks such as instability and low bioavailability, which can be overcome by encapsulated slow-release systems. Natural polymer hydrogels are ideal materials for slow-release systems because of their high biocompatibility. In this study, Longzhua mushroom polysaccharide hydrogel (LMPH) was used to encapsulate rambutan peel polyphenols (RPP) and delay their release time to improve their stability and bioavailability. The mechanical properties, rheology, stability, swelling properties, water-holding capacity, RPP loading, and slow-release behavior of LMPH were investigated. The results showed that LMPH has adequate mechanical and rheological properties, high thermal stability, excellent swelling and water-holding capacity, and good self-healing behavior. Increasing the polysaccharide content not only improved the hardness (0.17-1.13 N) and water-holding capacity of LMPH (90.84-99.32%) but also enhanced the encapsulation efficiency of RPP (93.13-99.94%). The dense network structure slowed down the release of RPP. In particular, LMPH5 released only 61.58% at 48 h. Thus, a stable encapsulated slow-release system was fabricated using a simple method based on the properties of LMPH. The developed material has great potential for the sustained release and delivery of biologically active substances.

Abstract
The application of three- and four-dimensional (3D/4D) printing in cancer research represents a significant advancement in understanding and addressing the complexities of cancer biology. 3D/4D materials provide more physiologically relevant environments compared to traditional two-dimensional models, allowing for a more accurate representation of the tumor microenvironment that enables researchers to study tumor progression, drug responses, and interactions with surrounding tissues under conditions similar to in vivo conditions. The dynamic nature of 4D materials introduces the element of time, allowing for the observation of temporal changes in cancer behavior and response to therapeutic interventions. The use of 3D/4D printing in cancer research holds great promise for advancing our understanding of the disease and improving the translation of preclinical findings to clinical applications. Accordingly, this review aims to briefly discuss 3D and 4D printing and their advantages and limitations in the field of cancer. Moreover, new techniques such as 5D/6D printing and artificial intelligence (AI) are also introduced as methods that could be used to overcome the limitations of 3D/4D printing and opened promising ways for the fast and precise diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Nowadays, chronic wounds are the major cause of morbidity worldwide and the healthcare costs related to wound care are a billion-dollar issue; chronic wounds involve a non-healing process that makes necessary the application of advanced wound dressings to promote skin integrity recovery. Functionally Graded Scaffolds (FGSs) are currently driving interest as promising candidates in mimicking the skin tissue environment and, thus, in enhancing a faster and more effective wound healing process. Aim of the present work was to design and develop a porous FGS based on κ-carrageenan (κCG) for the management of chronic skin wounds; a freeze-drying process was optimized to obtain in a single-step a three-layered FGS characterized by a pore size gradient functional to mimic the structure of native skin tissue. In addition to κCG, arginine and whey protein isolate were used as multifunctional agents for FGS preparation; these substances can not only intervene in some stages of wound healing but are able to establish non-covalent interactions with κCG, which were responsible for the production of layers with different pore size, water content capability and mechanical properties. Cell migration, adhesion and proliferation within the FGS structure were evaluated in vitro on fibroblasts and FGS wound healing potential was also studied in vivo on a murine model.

Abstract
Polymer mucoadhesive films being developed for use in ophthalmology represent a new tool for drug delivery and are considered an alternative to traditional dosage forms. Due to their mucoadhesive properties, carrageenans (CRGs) are widely used in various forms for drug delivery. In this study, films based on CRGs of various structural types (κ/β, κ, x, and λ) for use in ophthalmology were studied. The films were loaded with the active substance echinochrome (ECH), a sea urchin pigment used in ophthalmology. Spectral data showed that ECH remained stable after its incorporation into the CRG films and did not oxidize for at least six months. Hydrophilic CRG films with a thickness of 10-12 µm were characterized in terms of their swelling and mucoadhesive properties. The rheological properties of solutions formed after film dissolution in artificial tears were also assessed. κ- and κ/β-CRG films with ECH exhibited pseudoplastic behavior after rehydrating films with an artificial tear solution. The CRG-loaded films had different swelling characteristics depending on the structure of the CRG used. The films based on highly sulfated CRGs dissolved in artificial tears, while the films of low-sulfated κ/β-CRG exhibited limited swelling. All studied ECH-loaded films exhibited mucoadhesive properties, which were evaluated by a texture analyzer using mucous tissue of the small intestine of the pig as a model. There was a slight prolongation of ECH release from CRG films in artificial tears. The effect of CRG/ECH on the epithelial cell lines of the outer shell of the human eye was investigated. At low concentrations, ECH in the composition of the CRG/ECH complex had no cytotoxic effect on corneal epithelial and conjunctival human cells. The use of ECH-containing films can prevent the drug from being immediately washed away by tears and help to retain it by increasing viscosity and having mucoadhesive properties.

Abstract
This study investigates the potential of κ-carrageenan hydrogel beads as a delivery system for curcumin, a bioactive compound with various health benefits. Hydrogel beads were prepared using the extrusion technique with a hypodermic needle. The encapsulation efficiency of curcumin in the κ-carrageenan hydrogel beads was found to be 74.61 ± 3.2 %. FTIR spectroscopy analysis revealed shifts in absorption peaks, indicating possible hydrogen bonding and/or ionic interactions between the polymer and salt. An increase in the melting point of curcumin, by 25 °C, in curcumin- κ-carrageenan beads suggests the heat protection offered by the carrageenan chains to curcumin molecules. The in vitro release of curcumin from the beads suggests a sustained and pH-dependent release nature. The release kinetics follow the first order and the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. The outcome offers value-added delivery systems of bioactive compounds toward developing novel food and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
The aim of this work is research dedicated to the search for new bactericidal systems for use in cosmetic formulations, dermocosmetics, or the production of wound dressings. Over the last two decades, chitosan, due to its special biological activity, has become a highly indispensable biopolymer with very wide application possibilities. Reports in the literature on the antibacterial effects of chitosan are very diverse, but our research has shown that they can be successfully improved through chemical modification. Therefore, in this study, results on the synthesis of new chitosan-based Schiff bases, dCsSB-SFD and dCsSB-PCA, are obtained using two aldehydes: sodium 4-formylbenzene-1,3-disulfonate (SFD) and 2-pyridine carboxaldehyde (PCA), respectively. Chitosan derivatives synthesized in this way demonstrate stronger antimicrobial activity. Carrying out the procedure of grafting chitosan with a caproyl chain allowed obtaining compatible blends of chitosan derivatives with κ-carrageenan, which are stable hydrogels with a high swelling coefficient. Furthermore, the covalently bounded poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) chain improved the solubility of obtained polymers in organic solvents. In this respect, the Schiff base-containing polymers obtained in this study, with special hydrogel and antimicrobial properties, are very promising materials for potential use as a controlled-release formulation of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs in cosmetic products for skin health.

Abstract
Several studies have been performed on the immunomodulatory effects of yeast β-(1,3) glucan, but there is no proper evaluation of the thermal and immunomodulating properties of zymosan (ZM). Thermogravimetry analysis indicated a 54% weight loss of ZM at 270 °C. Circular dichroism showed absorption peaks in the region of 250 to 400 nm, suggesting a helical coil β-sheet configuration. XRD showed a broad peak at 2θ of 20.38°, indicating the crystalline nature, and the size was found to be 23 nm. ZM is biocompatible and showed no toxicity against L929 and RAW 264.7 cell lines (cell viability > 90%). Immunomodulatory studies with PCR showed upregulation of M1 genes in human differentiated THP-1 macrophage cell lines, which were responsible for antitumor properties. The uptake of ZM particles inside the differentiated THP-1 macrophages and Raw 264.7 cells was confirmed (Video clip). ZM particle uptake via Dectin-1 was identified by competitive receptor blocking. Seaweed derived carrageenan/ZM/agarose hydrogel was successfully prepared (@5 : 5 wt%) and was seen to support the growth of L929 cells (1 × 105 cells per mL) and have a higher swelling (≈250-280%). This study indicates that ZM-based hydrogel could be a potential drug carrier (Rifampicin and Levofloxacin) for targeting tumour-associated macrophages (M2).

Abstract
Recently, as concerns about petrochemical-derived polymers increase, interest in biopolymer-based materials is increasing. Undoubtedly, biopolymers are a better alternative to solve the problem of synthetic polymer-based plastics for packaging purposes. There are various types of biopolymers in nature, and mostly polysaccharides are used in this regard. Carrageenan is a hydrophilic polysaccharide extracted from red algae and has recently attracted great interest in the development of food packaging films. Carrageenan is known for its excellent film-forming properties, high compatibility and good carrier properties. Carrageenan is readily available and low cost, making it a good candidate as a polymer matrix base material for active and intelligent food packaging films. The carrageenan-based packaging film lacks mechanical, barrier, and functional properties. Thus, the physical and functional properties of carrageenan-based films can be enhanced by blending this biopolymer with functional compounds and nanofillers. Various types of bioactive ingredients, such as nanoparticles, natural extracts, colorants, and essential oils, have been incorporated into the carrageenan-based film. Carrageenan-based functional packaging film was found to be useful for extending the shelf life of packaged foods and tracking spoilage. Recently, there has been plenty of research work published on the potential of carrageenan-based packaging film. Therefore, this review discusses recent advances in carrageenan-based films for applications in food packaging. The preparation and properties of carrageenan-based packaging films were discussed, as well as their application in real-time food packaging. The latest discussion on the potential of carrageenan as an alternative to traditionally used synthetic plastics may be helpful for further research in this field.

Abstract
The study explores the use of hydrochar-derived activated carbon (AC) to improve the adsorption capacity and mechanical properties of carrageenan (CAR) hydrogel beads. Four distinct samples, with carrageenan to activated carbon ratios of 1:0 (CAR), 2:1 (CAC2), 4:1 (CAC4), and 10:1 (CAC10), were prepared. These polymeric beads underwent comprehensive evaluation for their methylene blue (MB) adsorption capacity, gel content (GC), and swelling ratio (SR). Increasing activated carbon content up to 50 % of carrageenan mass significantly enhanced GC and SR by 20.57 % and 429.24 %, respectively. Various analytical techniques were employed to characterize the composites, including FTIR, XRD, Raman Spectroscopy, BET, SEM, and EDS-Mapping. Batch adsorption tests investigated the effects of pH, contact time, dye concentration, and temperature on MB adsorption. Maximum adsorption capacities for CAR, CAC10, CAC4, and CAC2 were 475.48, 558.54, 635.93, and 552.35 mg/g, respectively, under optimal conditions. Kinetic models (Elovich and pseudo-second-order) and isotherm models (Temkin for CAR and Freundlich for CAC10, CAC4, and CAC2) fitted well with the experimental data. Thermodynamic analysis showed spontaneous, exothermic MB adsorption. Primary mechanisms include electrostatic attraction, hydrogen bonding, n-π, and π-π stacking. The study highlights enhanced adsorption capacity of carrageenan hydrogel via carrageenan/activated carbon composites, providing cost-effective wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Carrageenan is an emerging biopolymer for wound healing and regenerative applications. In this study, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) nano-composites infused carrageenan bioactive membrane was fabricated. Here, hydroxyapatite was synthesized from cuttlefish bone (CF-HAp) and its properties were compared with that of chemically synthesized HAp. Crystalline Ca5(PO4)3(OH) and Ca3(PO4)2) phases were obtained in cuttlefish bone derived HAp. Reduced graphene oxide was synthesized and composites were prepared with chemical HAp and CF-HAp. FT-IR spectral analysis showed the imprints of hydroxyapatite on the membrane and also nano-structured particles were evident through morphological estimations that confirm the distribution of nano-particles on the carrageenan membrane. Nano-particulates infused carrageenan membrane showed the maximum tensile strength, in which graphene incorporated carrageenan bioactive membrane showed highest stability of 15.26 MPa. The contact angle of chemical HAp infused carrageenan membrane (CAR-HAp) showed more hydrophilic in nature (48.63° ± 7.47°) compared to control (61.77° ± 1.28°). Bio-compatibility features enunciate the optimal compatibility of fabricated bioactive membrane with fibroblast cell line; simultaneously, CAR-rGO-CF-HAp showed tremendous wound healing behavior with zebrafish model. Hence, fabricated bioactive membrane with the infusion of rGO- hydroxyapatite derived from cuttlefish bone was found to be a versatile biopolymer membrane for wound healing application.

Abstract
Wound dressings act as a physical barrier between the wound site and the external environment, preventing additional harm; choosing suitable wound dressings is essential for the healing process. Polysaccharide biopolymers have demonstrated encouraging findings and therapeutic prospects in recent decades about wound therapy. Additionally, polysaccharides have bioactive qualities like anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant capabilities that can help the process of healing. Due to their excellent tissue adhesion, swelling, water absorption, bactericidal, and immune-regulating properties, polysaccharide-based bio-adhesive films have recently been investigated as intriguing alternatives in wound management. These films also mimic the structure of the skin and stimulate the regeneration of the skin. This review presented several design standards and functions of suitable bio-adhesive films for the healing of wounds. Additionally, the most recent developments in the use of bio-adhesive films as wound dressings based on polysaccharides, including hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, dextran, alginate, chitosan, cellulose, konjac glucomannan, gellan gum, xanthan gum, pectin, guar gum, heparin, arabinogalactans, carrageen, and tragacanth gum, are thoroughly discussed. Lastly, to create a road map for the function of polysaccharide-based bio-adhesive films in advanced wound care, their clinical performances and future challenges in making bio-adhesive films by three-dimensional bioprinting are summarized.

Abstract
Currently, there are no viable curative treatments that can enhance the central nervous system's (CNS) recovery from trauma or illness. Bioengineered injectable smart/stimuli-responsive hydrogels (SSRHs) that mirror the intricacy of the CNS milieu and architecture have been suggested as a way to get around these restrictions in combination with medication and cell therapy. Additionally, the right biophysical and pharmacological stimuli are required to boost meaningful CNS regeneration. Recent research has focused heavily on developing SSRHs as cutting-edge delivery systems that can direct the regeneration of brain tissue. In the present article, we have discussed the pathology of brain injuries, and the applicable strategies employed to regenerate the brain tissues. Moreover, the most promising SSRHs for neural tissue engineering (TE) including alginate (Alg.), hyaluronic acid (HA), chitosan (CH), gelatin, and collagen are used in natural polymer-based hydrogels and thoroughly discussed in this review. The ability of these hydrogels to distribute bioactive substances or cells in response to internal and external stimuli is highlighted with particular attention. In addition, this article provides a summary of the most cutting-edge techniques for CNS recovery employing SSRHs for several neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Algae-based biopolymers can be used in diverse energy-related applications, such as separators and polymer electrolytes in batteries and fuel cells and also as microalgal biofuel, which is regarded as a highly renewable energy source. For these purposes, different physical, thermochemical, and biochemical properties are necessary, which are discussed within this review, such as porosity, high temperature resistance, or good mechanical properties for batteries and high energy density and abundance of the base materials in case of biofuel, along with the environmental aspects of using algae-based biopolymers in these applications. On the other hand, bacterial biopolymers are also often used in batteries as bacterial cellulose separators or as biopolymer network binders, besides their potential use as polymer electrolytes. In addition, they are also regarded as potential sustainable biofuel producers and converters. This review aims at comparing biopolymers from both aforementioned sources for energy conversion and storage. Challenges regarding the production of algal biopolymers include low scalability and low cost-effectiveness, and for bacterial polymers, slow growth rates and non-optimal fermentation processes often cause challenges. On the other hand, environmental benefits in comparison with conventional polymers and the better biodegradability are large advantages of these biopolymers, which suggest further research to make their production more economical.

Abstract
Immediate control of excessive bleeding and prevention of infections are of utmost importance in the management of wounds. Cryogels have emerged as promising materials for the rapid release of medication and achieving hemostasis. However, their quick release properties pose the challenge of exposing patients to high concentrations of drugs. In this study, hybrid nanocomposites were developed to address this issue by combining poly(vinyl alcohol) and κ-carrageenan with whitlockite nanoapatite (WNA) particles and ciprofloxacin, aiming to achieve rapid hemostasis and sustained antibacterial effects. A physically cross-linked cryogel was obtained by subjecting a blend of poly(vinyl alcohol) and κ-carrageenan to successive freezing-thawing cycles, followed by the addition of WNA. Furthermore, ciprofloxacin was introduced into the cryogel matrix for subsequent evaluation of its wound healing properties. The resulting gel system exhibited a 3D microporous structure and demonstrated excellent swelling, low cytotoxicity, and outstanding mechanical properties. These characteristics were evaluated through analytical and rheological experiments. The nanocomposite cryogel with 4% whitlockite showed extended drug release of 71.21 ± 3.5% over 21 days and antibacterial activity with a considerable growth inhibition zone (4.19 ± 3.55 cm). Experiments on a rat model demonstrated a rapid hemostasis property of cryogels within an average of 83 ± 4 s and accelerated the process of wound healing with 96.34% contraction compared to the standard, which exhibited only ∼78% after 14 days. The histopathological analysis revealed that the process of epidermal re-epithelialization took around 14 days following the skin incision. The cryogel loaded with WNAs and ciprofloxacin holds great potential for strategic utilization in wound management applications as an effective material for hemostasis and anti-infection purposes.

Abstract
This work reports the development of a marine-derived polysaccharide formulation based on k-Carrageenan and sodium alginate in order to produce a novel scaffold for engineering applications. The viscoelastic properties of the bicomponent inks were assessed via rheological tests prior to 3D printing. Compositions with different weight ratios between the two polymers, without any crosslinker, were subjected to 3D printing for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, and the fabrication parameters were optimized to ensure a controlled architecture. Crosslinking of the 3D-printed scaffolds was performed in the presence of a chloride mixture (CaCl2:KCl = 1:1; v/v) of different concentrations. The efficiency of the crosslinking protocol was evaluated in terms of swelling behavior and mechanical properties. The swelling behavior indicated a decrease in the swelling degree when the concentration of the crosslinking agent was increased. These results are consistent with the nanoindentation measurements and the results of the macro-scale tests. Moreover, morphology analysis was also used to determine the pore size of the samples upon freeze-drying and the uniformity and micro-architectural characteristics of the scaffolds. Overall, the registered results indicated that the bicomponent ink, Alg/kCG = 1:1 may exhibit potential for tissue-engineering applications.

Stimuli-responsive polysaccharide-based smart hydrogels for diabetic wound healing: Design aspects, preparation methods and regulatory perspectives. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 324:121537.

Abstract
Diabetes adversely affects wound-healing responses, leading to the development of chronic infected wounds. Such wound microenvironment is characterized by hyperglycaemia, hyperinflammation, hypoxia, variable pH, upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases, oxidative stress, and bacterial colonization. These pathological conditions pose challenges for the effective wound healing. Therefore, there is a paradigm shift in diabetic wound care management wherein abnormal pathological conditions of the wound microenvironment is used as a trigger for controlling the drug release or to improve properties of wound dressings. Hydrogels composed of natural polysaccharides showed tremendous potential as wound dressings as well as stimuli-responsive materials due to their unique properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, porosity, stimuli-responsiveness etc. Hence, polysaccharide-based hydrogels have emerged as advanced healthcare materials for diabetic wounds. In this review, we presented important aspects for the design of hydrogel-based wound dressings with an emphasis on biocompatibility, biodegradability, entrapment of therapeutic agents, moisturizing ability, swelling, and mechanical properties. Further, various crosslinking methods that enable desirable properties and stimuli responsiveness to the hydrogels have been mentioned. Subsequently, state-of-the-art developments in mono- and multi- stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been presented along with the case studies. Finally regulatory perspectives, challenges for the clinical translation and future prospects have been discussed.

Abstract
Macroalgae are valuable and structurally diverse sources of bioactive compounds among marine resources. The cell walls of macroalgae are rich in polysaccharides which exhibit a wide range of biological activities, such as anticoagulant, antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antitumor activities. Macroalgae polysaccharides (MPs) have been recognized as one of the most promising candidates in the biomedical field. However, the structure-activity relationships of bioactive polysaccharides extracted from macroalgae are complex and influenced by various factors. A clear understanding of these relationships is indeed critical in developing effective biomedical applications with MPs. In line with these challenges and knowledge gaps, this paper summarized the structural characteristics of marine MPs from different sources and relevant functional and bioactive properties and particularly highlighted those essential effects of the structure-bioactivity relationships presented in biomedical applications. This review not only focused on elucidating a particular action mechanism of MPs, but also intended to identify a novel or potential application of these valued compounds in the biomedical field in terms of their structural characteristics. In the last, the challenges and prospects of MPs in structure-bioactivity elucidation were further discussed and predicted, where they were emphasized on exploring modern biotechnology approaches potentially applied to expand their promising biomedical applications.

Abstract
Degradable polymers (both biomacromolecules and several synthetic polymers) for biomedical applications have been promising very much in the recent past due to their low cost, biocompatibility, flexibility, and minimal side effects. Here, we present an overview with updated information on natural and synthetic degradable polymers where a brief account on different polysaccharides, proteins, and synthetic polymers viz. polyesters/polyamino acids/polyanhydrides/polyphosphazenes/polyurethanes relevant to biomedical applications has been provided. The various approaches for the transformation of these polymers by physical/chemical means viz. cross-linking, as polyblends, nanocomposites/hybrid composites, interpenetrating complexes, interpolymer/polyion complexes, functionalization, polymer conjugates, and block and graft copolymers, are described. The degradation mechanism, drug loading profiles, and toxicological aspects of polymeric nanoparticles formed are also defined. Biomedical applications of these degradable polymer-based biomaterials in and as wound dressing/healing, biosensors, drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, etc., are highlighted. In addition, the use of such nano systems to solve current drug delivery problems is briefly reviewed.

Abstract
Probiotics are essential to improve the health of the host, whereas maintaining the viability of probiotics in harsh environments remains a challenge. Polysaccharides have non-toxicity, excellent biocompatibility, and outstanding biodegradability, which can protect probiotics by forming a physical barrier and show a promising prospect for probiotic delivery. In this review, we summarize polysaccharides commonly used for probiotic microencapsulation and introduce the microencapsulation technologies, including extrusion, emulsion, spray drying, freeze drying, and electrohydrodynamics. We discuss strategies for better protection of probiotics and introduce the applications of polysaccharides-encapsulated probiotics in functional food, oral formulation, and animal feed. Finally, we propose the challenges of polysaccharides-based delivery systems in industrial production and application. This review will help provide insight into the advances and challenges of polysaccharides in probiotic delivery.

Abstract
The need for biocompatible drug carriers has been significantly increased from the past few years. Researchers show great interest in the development of more versatile and sophisticated biomaterials based drug carriers. Hydrogels are beneficial drug carriers and easily release the controlled amount of drug at target site due to its tunable structure. The hydrogels made-up of potent biological macromolecules including collagen, gelatin, fibrin, elastin, fibroin, chitosan, starch, alginate, agarose and carrageenan have been proven as versatile biomaterials. These are three-dimensional polymeric networks, synthesized by crosslinking of hydrophilic polymers. The biological macromolecules based hydrogels containing therapeutic substances are used in a wide range of biomedical applications including wound healing, tissue engineering, cosmetics and contact lenses. However, many aspects related to hydrogels such as the mechanism of cross-linking and molecular entanglement are not clear. So, there is a need to do more research and exploration toward the extensive and cost-effective use of hydrogels. The present review article elaborately discusses the biomolecules based hydrogels and their possible biomedical applications in different fields.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles have been broadly investigated as cancer diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Gold nanoparticles are a favorable drug delivery vehicle with their unique subcellular size and good biocompatibility. Chitosan, agarose, fucoidan, porphyran, carrageenan, ulvan and alginate are all examples of biologically active macromolecules. Since they are biocompatible, biodegradable, and irritant-free, they find extensive application in biomedical and macromolecules. The versatility of these compounds is enhanced because they are amenable to modification by functional groups like sulfation, acetylation, and carboxylation. In an eco-friendly preparation process, the biocompatibility and targeting of GNPs can be improved by functionalizing them with polysaccharides. This article provides an update on using carbohydrate-based GNPs in liver cancer treatment, imaging, and drug administration. Selective surface modification of several carbohydrate types and further biological uses of GNPs are focused on.

Abstract
Wound dressing materials such as nanofiber (NF) mats have gained a lot of attention in recent years owing to their wonderful effect on accelerating the healing process and protection of wounds. In this regard, three different types of NF mats were fabricated using pure polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), PVP/κ-carrageenan (KG), and ursolic acid (UA) in the optimal PVP/KG ratio by electrospinning method to apply them as wound dressings. The morphology, chemical structure, degradation, porosity, mechanical properties and antioxidant activity of the produced NFs were investigated. Moreover, cell studies (e.g., cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration) and their antibacterial properties were evaluated. Adding KG and UA reduced the mean diameter size of the PVP-based NFs to ∼98 nm in the optimal sample, with defect-free morphology. The PVP/KG/UA 0.25 % exhibited the highest porosity, hydrophilicity, and degradation rate and a wound closure rate of 60 %, 2.5 times higher than that of the control group. Furthermore, this sample's proliferation and antibacterial ability were significantly higher than the other groups. These findings confirmed that the produced UA-loaded NFs have excellent properties as wound dressing.

Abstract
Self-assembly of macroscopic membranes at the interface between self-assembling peptides and aqueous polymer solutions of opposite charge has been explored mostly due to the membranes' unique hierarchical structure of three distinct regions, including a layer of perpendicular fibers. We report here on the formation and characterization of self-assembled membranes made with λ-carrageenan and the cationic β-sheet peptides, Pro-Lys-(Phe-Lys)5-Pro (PFK). Using SAXS, SEM, ITC, and rheology, we compared these membranes' morphology and physical properties to membranes made with alginate. We recognized that the polysaccharide's single chain conformation, its solution's viscosity, the potential of hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between the polysaccharides and the peptides charged groups, and the strength of these interactions all affect the properties of the resulting membranes. As a result, we identified that an interplay between the polymer-peptide strength of interactions and the stiffness of the polysaccharide's single chain could be used as a route to control the structure-function relationship of the membranes. These results provide valuable information for creating guidelines to design self-assembly membranes with specific properties.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses have attracted significant interest in the field of bioprinting, with previous research outlining the value of nanocellulose fibrils and bacterial nanocelluloses for 3D bioprinting tissues such as cartilage. We have recently characterised three distinct structural formulations of pulp-derived nanocelluloses: fibrillar (NFC), crystalline (NCC) and blend (NCB), exhibiting variation in pore geometry and mechanical properties. In light of the characterisation of these three distinct entities, this study investigated whether these structural differences translated to differences in printability, chondrogenicity or biocompatibility for 3D bioprinting anatomical structures with human nasoseptal chondrocytes. Composite nanocellulose-alginate bioinks (75:25 v/v) of NFC, NCC and NCB were produced and tested for print resolution and fidelity. NFC offered superior print resolution whereas NCB demonstrated the best post-printing shape fidelity. Biologically, chondrogenicity was assessed using real time quantitative PCR, dimethylmethylene blue assays and histology. All biomaterials showed an increase in chondrogenic gene expression and extracellular matrix production over 21 days, but this was superior in the NCC bioink. Biocompatibility assessments revealed an increase in cell number and metabolism over 21 days in the NCC and NCB formulations. Nanocellulose augments printability and chondrogenicity of bioinks, of which the NCC and NCB formulations offer the best biological promise for bioprinting cartilage.

Abstract
Kappa-carrageenan (KCG), which is used to induce thrombosis in laboratory animals for antithrombotic drug screening, can trigger platelet aggregation. However, the cell-surface receptor and related signaling pathways remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the molecular basis of KCG-induced platelet activation using light-transmittance aggregometry, flow cytometry, western blotting, and surface plasmon resonance assays using platelets from platelet receptor-deficient mice and recombinant proteins. KCG-induced tail thrombosis was also evaluated in mice lacking the platelet receptor. We found that KCG induces platelet aggregation with α-granule secretion, activated integrin αIIbβ3, and phosphatidylserine exposure. As this aggregation was significantly inhibited by the Src family kinase inhibitor and spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) inhibitor, a tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway is required. Platelets exposed to KCG exhibited intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation of Syk, linker activated T cells, and phospholipase C gamma 2. KCG-induced platelet aggregation was abolished in platelets from C-type lectin-like receptor-2 (CLEC-2)-deficient mice, but not in platelets pre-treated with glycoprotein VI-blocking antibody, JAQ1. Surface plasmon resonance assays showed a direct association between murine/human recombinant CLEC-2 and KCG. KCG-induced thrombosis and thrombocytopenia were significantly inhibited in CLEC-2-deficient mice. Our findings show that KCG induces platelet activation via CLEC-2.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels based on natural polymers have shown great potential for various tissue engineering applications, such as wound healing. However, poor mechanical properties and weak self-healing ability are still major challenges. In this work, we introduce a host-guest (HG) supramolecular interaction between acrylate-β-cyclodextrin (Ac-β-CD) conjugated on methacrylated kappa-carrageenan (MA-κ-CA) and aromatic residues on gelatin to provide self-healing characteristics. We synthesize an MA-κ-CA to conjugate Ac-β-CD and fabricate dual crosslinked hybrid hydrogels with gelatin to mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM). The dual crosslinking occurs on the MA-κ-CA backbone through the addition of KCl and photocrosslinking process, which enhances mechanical strength and stability. The hybrid hydrogels exhibit shear-thinning, self-healing, and injectable behavior, which apply easily under a minimally invasive manner and contribute to shear stress during the injection. In-vitro studies indicate enhanced cell viability. Furthermore, scratch assays are performed to examine cell migration and cell-cell interaction. It is envisioned that the combination of self-healing and injectable dual crosslinked hybrid hydrogels with HG interactions display a promising and functional biomaterial platform for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides (MPs) are exceptional bioactive materials that possess unique biochemical mechanisms and pharmacological stability, making them ideal for various tissue engineering applications. Certain MPs, including agarose, alginate, carrageenan, chitosan, and glucan have been successfully employed as biological scaffolds in animal studies. As carriers of signaling molecules, scaffolds can enhance the adhesion, growth, and differentiation of somatic cells, thereby significantly improving the tissue regeneration process. However, the biological benefits of pure MPs composite scaffold are limited. Therefore, physical, chemical, enzyme modification and other methods are employed to expand its efficacy. Chemically, the structural properties of MPs scaffolds can be altered through modifications to functional groups or molecular weight reduction, thereby enhancing their biological activities. Physically, MPs hydrogels and sponges emulate the natural extracellular matrix, creating a more conducive environment for tissue repair. The porosity and high permeability of MPs membranes and nanomaterials expedite wound healing. This review explores the distinctive properties and applications of select MPs in tissue regeneration, highlighting their structural versatility and biological applicability. Additionally, we provide a brief overview of common modification strategies employed for MP scaffolds. In conclusion, MPs have significant potential and are expected to be a novel regenerative material for tissue engineering.

Abstract
For decades, tissue regeneration has been a challenging issue in scientific modeling and human practices. Although many conventional therapies are already used to treat burns, muscle injuries, bone defects, and hair follicle injuries, there remains an urgent need for better healing effects in skin, bone, and other unique tissues. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) printing and real-time monitoring technologies have enabled the creation of tissue-like membranes and the provision of an appropriate microenvironment. Using tissue engineering methods incorporating 3D printing technologies and biomaterials for the extracellular matrix (ECM) containing scaffolds can be used to construct a precisely distributed artificial membrane. Moreover, advances in smart sensors have facilitated the development of tissue regeneration. Various smart sensors may monitor the recovery of the wound process in different aspects, and some may spontaneously give feedback to the wound sites by releasing biological factors. The combination of the detection of smart sensors and individualized membrane design in the healing process shows enormous potential for wound dressings. Here, we provide an overview of the advantages of 3D printing and conventional therapies in tissue engineering. We also shed light on different types of 3D printing technology, biomaterials, and sensors to describe effective methods for use in skin and other tissue regeneration, highlighting their strengths and limitations. Finally, we highlight the value of 3D bioengineered membranes in various fields, including the modeling of disease, organ-on-a-chip, and drug development.

Abstract
To tackle antimicrobial resistance, a global threat identified by the United Nations, is a common cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and is responsible for significant costs on healthcare systems, a substantial amount of research has been devoted to developing polysaccharide-based strategies that prevent bacterial attachment and biofilm formation on surfaces. Polysaccharides are essential building blocks for life and an abundant renewable resource that have attracted much attention due to their intrinsic remarkable biological potential antibacterial activities. If converted into efficient antibacterial coatings that could be applied to a broad range of surfaces and applications, polysaccharide-based coatings could have a significant potential global impact. However, the ultimate success of polysaccharide-based antibacterial materials will be determined by their potential for use in manufacturing processes that are scalable, versatile, and affordable. Therefore, in this review we focus on recent advances in polysaccharide-based antibacterial coatings from the perspective of fabrication methods. We first provide an overview of strategies for designing polysaccharide-based antimicrobial formulations and methods to assess the antibacterial properties of coatings. Recent advances on manufacturing polysaccharide-based coatings using some of the most common polysaccharides and fabrication methods are then detailed, followed by a critical comparative overview of associated challenges and opportunities for future developments. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Our review presents a timely perspective by being the first review in the field to focus on advances on polysaccharide-based antibacterial coatings from the perspective of fabrication methods along with an overview of strategies for designing polysaccharide-based antimicrobial formulations, methods to assess the antibacterial properties of coatings as well as a critical comparative overview of associated challenges and opportunities for future developments. Meanwhile this work is specifically targeted at an audience focused on featuring critical information and guidelines for developing polysaccharide-based coatings. Including such a complementary work in the journal could lead to further developments on polysaccharide antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been extensively used in the field of biomedical engineering. In order to achieve non-invasive and real-time visualization of the in vivo status of hydrogels, we designed a fluorescent polyurethane-oxidized dextran (PU-OD) hydrogel with good injectability and self-healing properties, which was cross-linked from a tetraphenyl ethylene (TPE)-containing fluorescent polyurethane emulsion with oxidized dextran by dynamic acylhydrazone bonds. The hydrogel can be used as a visual platform for drug delivery as well as monitoring its own degradation. The network structure of the hydrogel gave it drug-loading capability, and the acylhydrazone bond enabled its pH-responsive drug release. Meanwhile, the PU-OD hydrogel could undergo fluorescence resonance transfer with doxorubicin hydrochloride, showing its potential application in monitoring drug release. In addition, fluorometric and weighing methods were performed to monitor the degradation behavior of the hydrogels in vivo and in vitro, respectively, showing that the non-invasive fluorometric method can be consistent with the invasive weighing method. This work highlights that the introduction of aggregation-induced emission molecules into polyurethanes provides a visual platform that allows for non-invasive monitoring of the material without affecting its own function, which is convenient and less damaging to the body or animals. Consequently, it possesses excellent and promising potential in biomedical materials technologies.

Abstract
Polysaccharides, being a natural, active, and biodegradable polymer, have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional properties. These properties make them ideal for creating multifunctional hydrogels that can be used as wound dressings for skin injuries. Polysaccharide hydrogel has the ability to both simulate the natural extracellular matrix, promote cell proliferation, and provide a suitable environment for wound healing while protecting it from bacterial invasion. Polysaccharide hydrogels offer a promising solution for repairing damaged skin. This review provides an overview of the mechanisms involved in skin damage repair and emphasizes the potential of polysaccharide hydrogels in this regard. For different skin injuries, polysaccharide hydrogels can play a role in promoting wound healing. However, we still need to conduct more research on polysaccharide hydrogels to provide more possibilities for skin damage repair.

Abstract
This work is aimed at developing a kappa-carrageenan (kCR) gel with increased methotrexate (MTX) content. β-Cyclodextrin (βCD), which is able to inclusion complex formation with MTX, has been used to increase the drug concentration in the hydrogel. The rheological behavior of the designed gels was investigated and the influence of MTX and βCD on the viscoelastic properties of kCR gel was studied in detail. The effect of βCD and its concentration on the MTX-releasing rate from the kCR gels was examined. The properties of kappa- and iota-carrageenans loaded with MTX were compared and the differences observed were explained in terms of different binding affinities of MTX to these polymers. The obtained gels provided desirable viscoelastic properties useful for topical application.

Abstract
Wound healing is widely recognized as a critical issue impacting the healthcare sector in numerous countries. The application of wound dressings multiple times in such instances can result in tissue damage, thereby increasing the complexity of wound healing. With the aim of tackling this necessity, in the present study, we have formulated a hydrogel using natural polysaccharide κ-carrageenan and phycobiliprotein R-phycoerythrin from Pyropia yezoensis. The formulated hydrogel κ-Carrageenan-R-Phycoerythrin (κ-CRG-R-PE) was analyzed for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The wound healing potential of the κ-CRG-R-PE was evaluated in Hs27 cells by the wound scratch assay method. The hydrogel showed dose-dependent antioxidant activity and significant antimicrobial activity at 100 μg/mL concentration. κ-CRG-R-PE hydrogels promoted more rapid and complete wound closure than κ-Carrageenan (κ-CRG) hydrogel at 24 and 48 h. κ-CRG-R-PE hydrogels also filled the wound within 48 h of incubation, indicating that they positively affect fibroblast migration and wound healing.

Abstract
In recent years, health-care providers have seen more patients with difficult-to-treat wounds and burns. The biopolymer-based wound dressing protects the wounded area while assisting in the recovery of dermal and epithelial tissues throughout the healing process. The overall number of patients with chronic lesions has been expanding due to developing society, over weight, and cardiovascular illness. For the treatment of chronic wounds, there is an increasing demand for the development of ideal wound dressing materials with excellent properties such as antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, free radical scavenging capacity, non-adherent property, hydrophilicity, and so on. Nevertheless, owing to the above mention properties, natural polymers are being used for several key functions of biomedicine like narcotic distribution systems, tissue manufacturing, bandages, and so on. Accordingly, the significance of these bio-based polymers interfered with healing functions that lead to informing and inspiring youth and scientist researchers worldwide to grab with these far-reaching areas of medicine and biology. The review highlights the physiochemical properties of natural polymers, the biological evaluation of various materials as wound dressings, their synthesis and mechanical properties, clinical status, challenges, and future perspectives.
