Abstract
In this study, mussel-inspired chemistry, based on catechol-amine reactions, was adopted to develop self-cross-linkable chitosan-alginate (Chi-Alg) complexes. To do so, the biopolymers were each substituted with ∼20% catechol groups (ChiC and AlgC), and then four complex combinations (Chi-Alg, ChiC-Alg, Chi-AlgC, ChiC-AlgC) were prepared at the surface and in bulk solution. Based on QCM-D and lap shear adhesion tests, the complex with catechol only on Chi (ChiC-Alg) did not show a significant variation from the control complex (Chi-Alg). Conversely, the complexes with catechol on alginate (Chi-AlgC and ChiC-AlgC) rendered a self-cross-linking property and enhanced cohesive properties.

Abstract
Chitosan is a marine-origin polysaccharide obtained from the deacetylation of chitin, the main component of crustaceans’ exoskeleton, and the second most abundant in nature. Although this biopolymer has received limited attention for several decades right after its discovery, since the new millennium chitosan has emerged owing to its physicochemical, structural and biological properties, multifunctionalities and applications in several sectors. This review aims at providing an overview of chitosan properties, chemical functionalization, and the innovative biomaterials obtained thereof. Firstly, the chemical functionalization of chitosan backbone in the amino and hydroxyl groups will be addressed. Then, the review will focus on the bottom-up strategies to process a wide array of chitosan-based biomaterials. In particular, the preparation of chitosan-based hydrogels, organic–inorganic hybrids, layer-by-layer assemblies, (bio)inks and their use in the biomedical field will be covered aiming to elucidate and inspire the community to keep on exploring the unique features and properties imparted by chitosan to develop advanced biomedical devices. Given the wide body of literature that has appeared in past years, this review is far from being exhaustive. Selected works in the last 10 years will be considered.

Abstract
Here we demonstrate the possibility of using acyclic diethylacetal of acetaldehyde (ADA) with low cytotoxicity for the fabrication of hydrogels via Schiff bases formation between chitosan and acetaldehyde generated in situ from acetals in chitosan acetate solution. This approach is more convenient than a direct reaction between chitosan and acetaldehyde due to the better commercial availability and higher boiling point of the acetals. Rheological data confirmed the formation of intermolecular bonds in chitosan solution after the addition of acetaldehyde diethyl acetal at an equimolar NH2: acetal ratio. The chemical structure of the reaction products was determined using elemental analysis and 13C NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. The formed chitosan-acetylimine underwent further irreversible redox transformations yielding a mechanically stable hydrogel insoluble in a broad pH range. The reported reaction is an example of when an inappropriate selection of acid type for chitosan dissolution prevents hydrogel formation.

Abstract
Because of its ideal degradation rate and features, oxidized alginate (OA) is selected as an appropriate substitute and has been introduced into hydrogels, microspheres, 3D-printed/composite scaffolds, membranes, and electrospinning and coating materials. By taking advantage of OA, the OA-based materials can be easily functionalized and deliver drugs or growth factors to promote tissue regeneration. In 1928, it was first found that alginate could be oxidized using periodate, yielding OA. Since then, considerable progress has been made in the research on the modification and application of alginate after oxidation. In this article, we summarize the key properties and existing applications of OA and various OA-based materials and discuss their prospects in regenerative medicine.
