Abstract
Strawberry is a seasonal and regional fruit. Thus, strawberry waste caused by spoilage and decay is an urgent problem that must be solved. Developing hydrogel films (HGF) for multifunctional food packaging can effectively slow down strawberry. Based on the carboxymethyl chitosan/sodium alginate/citric acid with excellent biocompatibility, preservation effect, and ultrafast (10 s) coating on the strawberry surface, HGF specimens were designed and prepared through the electrostatic interaction of opposite charges between polysaccharides. The prepared HGF specimen exhibited excellent low moisture permeability and antibacterial properties. Its lethality rates against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were more than >99 %. The HGF could keep strawberries fresh for up to 8, 19, and 48 days at 25.0, 5.0, and 0 °C, respectively, by delaying the fruits' ripening, dehydration, microbial invasion, and respiration rate. The HGF dissolved and regenerated five times still exhibited good performance. The water vapor transmission rate of the regenerative HGF could reach 98 % of that of the original HGF. The regenerative HGF could maintain the freshness of strawberries for up to 8 days at 25.0 °C. This study provides new insight into an alternative film design for convenient, green, and renewable alternative films to delay perishable fruit spoilage.

Abstract
Multiple microbial exopolysaccharides have been reported in recent decade with their structural and functional features. Gellan gum (GG) is among these emerging biopolymers with versatile properties. Low production yield, high downstream cost, and abundant market demand have made GG a high cost material. Hence, an understanding on the various possibilities to develop cost-effective gellan gum bioprocess is desirable. This review focuses on details of upstream and downstream process of GG from an industrial perspective. It emphasizes on GG producing Sphingomonas spp., updates on biosynthesis, strain and media engineering, kinetic modeling, bioreactor design and scale-up considerations. Details of the downstream operations with possible modifications to make it cost-effective and environmentally sustainable have been discussed. The updated regulatory criteria for GG as a food ingredient and analytical tools required to validate the same have been briefly discussed. Derivatives of GG and their applications in various industrial segments have also been highlighted.

Abstract
The utilization of natural gum polysaccharides as the vehicle for drug delivery systems and other biomedical applications has increased in recent decades. Their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and price are much cheaper than other materials. It is also renewable and available in massive amounts, which are the main reasons for its use in pharmaceutical applications. Gum can be easily functionalized with other natural polymers to enhance their applications. Various aspects of the utilization of natural gums in the forms of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) for drug delivery systems are discussed in this review. The application of different mathematical models were used to represent the drug release mechanisms from PECs; these models include a zero-order equation, first-order equation, Higuchi, simplified Higuchi, Korsmeyer–Peppas, and Peppas–Sahlin.

Abstract
Cell encapsulation strategies using hydrogel beads have been considered as an alternative to immunosuppression in cell-based therapies. They rely on layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of polymers to tune beads' permeability, creating a physical barrier to the host immune system. However, the LbL approach can also create diffusion barriers, hampering the flow of essential nutrients and therapeutic cell products. In this work, the polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) methodology was used to circumvent the drawbacks of the LbL strategy by inducing hydrogel bead formation through the interaction of anionic methacrylated gellan gum (GG-MA) with cationic poly-l-lysine (PLL). The interfacial complexation between both polymers resulted in beads with a cell-friendly GG-MA hydrogel core surrounded by a PEC semipermeable membrane. The beads showed great in vitro stability over time, a semi-permeable behavior, and supported human adipose-derived stem cell encapsulation. Additionally, and regarding immune recognition, the in vitro and in vivo studies pointed out that the hydrogel beads behave as an immunocompatible system. Overall, the engineered beads showed great potential for hydrogel-mediated cell therapies, when immunoprotection is required, as when treating different metabolic disorders.

Abstract
In this study, multifunctional polyurethane nanoparticles (MPUNs) were embedded into the methacrylated gellan gum (MGG) to prepare stimuli-responsive hydrogels with improved mechanical properties including remarkable fatigue resistance and excellent self-recoverability. The photocurable MPUNs/MGG nanocomposite hydrogels with different formulations were synthesized through a facile and green solution mixing method. The result obtained from mechanical analysis displayed an excellent improvement in compression strength (120 6 ± 83.7 kPa) and ultimate strain (94.2 ± 2.7%) in the optimized formulation. Furthermore, the optimized formulation could restore approximately its original shape after continuous loading-unloading compression tests over 100 cycles which might result from its favorable crosslinked structure. These reinforced hydrogels exhibited a dual physical and chemical crosslinking mechanism based on the hydrogen bonding formation and photocrosslinking of methacrylate functional groups, respectively. Interestingly, the nanocomposite hydrogels exhibited no significant cytotoxicity to human dermal fibroblast cells which made them suitable as the appropriate biomaterials for the engineering of soft tissues.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based biomaterials have advanced bone tissue engineering approaches in the last decade, through their ability to serve as a carrier for potent growth factor, bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2). However, biophysical properties of hydrogels such as multiscale structural hierarchy and bone extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic microarchitecture are underutilized while designing current bone grafts. Incorporation of these properties offers great potential to create a favorable biomimetic microenvironment to harness their regenerative potential. Here, we present our approach to fabricate collagen-inspired bioactive hydrogel scaffolds (referred to as "RegenMatrix") to guide and enhance bone regeneration in a rabbit ulna defect model through the mimicry of multiscale architecture of bone ECM, i.e., native collagen. Specifically, we employed polyelectrolyte complexation to promote bottom-up self-assembly of oppositely charged polysaccharides (chitosan and kappa-carrageenan) at multiple length scales forming fibrils, which further assemble into fibers. The self-assembly and bioinspired scaffold fabrication method resulted in robust cylindrical RegenMatrix with excellent retention of the multiscale architecture and uniform mineral deposition throughout the scaffolds. RegenMatrix, in both nonmineralized and mineralized forms, enhanced bone regeneration in the semiload-bearing ulna defect when compared to the empty defect. RegenMatrix also showed greater histocompatibility without any fibrous tissue formation. Collectively, the RegenMatrix developed in this study has a great potential as a bioactive bone graft without any added growth factors.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are explored for various tissue engineering applications due to their inherent cytocompatibility and ability to form bulk hydrogels. However, bulk hydrogels offer poor control over their microarchitecture and multiscale hierarchy, parameters important to recreate extracellular matrix-mimetic microenvironment. Here, we developed a versatile platform technology to self-assemble oppositely charged polysaccharides into multiscale fibrous hydrogels with controlled anisotropic microarchitecture. We employed polyionic complexation through microfluidic flow of positively charged polysaccharide, chitosan, along with one of the three negatively charged polysaccharides: alginate, gellan gum, and kappa carrageenan. These hydrogels were composed of microscale fibers, which in turn were made of submicron fibrils confirming multiscale hierarchy. Fibrous hydrogels showed strong tensile mechanical properties, which were further modulated by encapsulation of shape-specific antioxidant cerium oxide nanoparticles (CNPs). Specifically, hydrogels with chitosan and gellan gum showed more than eight times higher tensile strength compared to the other two pairs. Incorporation of sphere-shaped cerium oxide nanoparticles in chitosan and gellan gum further reinforced fibrous hydrogels and increased their tensile strength by 40%. Altogether, our automated hydrogel fabrication platform allows fabrication of bioinspired biomaterials with scope for one-step encapsulation of small molecules and nanoparticles without chemical modification or use of chemical crosslinkers.

Abstract
In this study we use a combination of ionic- and photo-cross-linking to develop a fabrication method for producing biocompatible microstructures using a methacrylated gellan gum (a polyanion) and chitosan (a polycation) in addition to lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP) as the photoinitiator. This work involves the development of a low-cost, portable 3D bioprinter and a customized extrusion mechanism for controlled introduction of the materials through a 3D printed microfluidic nozzle, before being cross-linked in situ to form robust microstructure bundles. The formed microstructures yielded a diameter of less than 1 μm and a tensile strength range of ∼1 MPa. This study is the first to explore and achieve GGMA:CHT microstructure fabrication by means of controlled in-line compaction and photo-cross-linking through 3D printed microfluidic channels.

Abstract
The engineering of tissues under a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment is a great challenge and needs a suitable supporting biomaterial-based scaffold that may facilitate cell attachment, spreading, proliferation, migration, and differentiation for proper tissue regeneration or organ reconstruction. Polysaccharides as natural polymers promise great potential in the preparation of a three-dimensional artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) (i.e., hydrogel) via various processing methods and conditions. Natural polymers, especially gums, based upon hydrogel systems, provide similarities largely with the native ECM and excellent biological response. Here, we review the origin and physico-chemical characteristics of potentially used natural gums. In addition, various forms of scaffolds (e.g., nanofibrous, 3D printed-constructs) based on gums and their efficacy in 3D cell culture and various tissue regenerations such as bone, osteoarthritis and cartilage, skin/wound, retinal, neural, and other tissues are discussed. Finally, the advantages and limitations of natural gums are precisely described for future perspectives in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in the concluding remarks.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are increasingly used as biodegradable nanocarrier to selectively deliver therapeutic agents to specific cells. In this study, maleate gellan gum (MA-GG) formed by addition of free radical polymerizable groups, which can be polymerized presence of acetone to design biodegradable three-dimensional networks, were synthesized by esterification. Natural silk sericin was grafted over the maleate gellan gum surface. Maleate Gellan Gum- Silk Sericin-Chitosan (MA-GG-SS-CS) nanocomposites loaded with rifampicin (RF) and pyrazinamide (PZA) to overcome the problems associated with Tuberculosis (TB) therapy. The pH responsive behavior of gellan gum nanocomposites was reposed by silk sericin and exhibited sustained release of 79% RF and 82% PZA for 120 h at pH 4.0. The designed formulations shows higher antimycobacterial activity and rapid delivery of drugs at TB infected macrophage. Nanomaterial effectively aggregated and internalized into the bacterial cells and MH-S cells. Dual drug release inside the cells makes damage in the cell membrane. Green nanocomposites studies pave the way for important use of macromolecules in pulmonary delivery TB drugs.

Abstract
Despite significant interest in developing extracellular matrix (ECM)-inspired biomaterials to recreate native cell-instructive microenvironments, the major challenge in the biomaterial field is to recapitulate the complex structural and biophysical features of native ECM. These biophysical features include multiscale hierarchy, electrical conductivity, optimum wettability, and mechanical properties. These features are critical to the design of cell-instructive biomaterials for bioengineering applications such as skeletal muscle tissue engineering. In this study, we used a custom-designed film fabrication assembly, which consists of a microfluidic chamber to allow electrostatic charge-based self-assembly of oppositely charged polymer solutions forming a hydrogel fiber and eventually, a nanocomposite fibrous hydrogel film. The film recapitulates unidirectional hierarchical fibrous structure along with the conductive properties to guide initial alignment and myotube formation from cultured myoblasts. We combined high conductivity, and charge carrier mobility of graphene with biocompatibility of polysaccharides to develop graphene-polysaccharide nanocomposite fibrous hydrogel films. The incorporation of graphene in fibrous hydrogel films enhanced their wettability, electrical conductivity, tensile strength, and toughness without significantly altering their elastic properties (Young's modulus). In a proof-of-concept study, the mouse myoblast cells (C2C12) seeded on these nanocomposite fibrous hydrogel films showed improved spreading and enhanced myogenesis as evident by the formation of multinucleated myotubes, an early indicator of myogenesis. Overall, graphene-polysaccharide nanocomposite fibrous hydrogel films provide a potential biomaterial to promote skeletal muscle tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The past decade has witnessed rapid advances in porous polyelectrolytes and there is tremendous interest in their synthesis as well as their applications in environmental, energy, biomedicine, and catalysis technologies. Research on porous polyelectrolytes is motivated by the flexible choice of functional organic groups and processing technologies as well as the synergy of the charge and pores spanning length scales from individual polyelectrolyte backbones to their nano-/micro-superstructures. This Review surveys recent progress in porous polyelectrolytes including membranes, particles, scaffolds, and high surface area powders/resins as well as their derivatives. The focus is the interplay between surface chemistry, Columbic interaction, and pore confinement that defines new chemistry and physics in such materials for applications in energy conversion, molecular separation, water purification, sensing/actuation, catalysis, tissue engineering, and nanomedicine.

Abstract
Gellan gum (GG), a linear negatively charged exopolysaccharide,is biodegradable and non-toxic in nature. It produces hard and translucent gel in the presence of metallic ions which is stable at low pH. However, GG has poor mechanical strength, poor stability in physiological conditions, high gelling temperature and small temperature window.Therefore,it is blended with different polymers such as agar, chitosan, cellulose, sodium alginate, starch, pectin, polyanaline, pullulan, polyvinyl chloride, and xanthan gum. In this article, a comprehensive overview of combination of GG with natural and synthetic polymers/compounds and their applications in biomedical field involving drug delivery system, insulin delivery, wound healing and gene therapy, is presented. It also describes the utilization of GG based materials in food and petroleum industry. All the technical scientific issues have been addressed; highlighting the recent advancement.

Abstract
Fiber bundles are present in many tissues throughout the body. In most cases, collagen subunits spontaneously self-assemble into a fibrilar structure that provides ductility to bone and constitutes the basis of muscle contraction. Translating these natural architectural features into a biomimetic scaffold still remains a great challenge. Here, we propose a simple strategy to engineer biomimetic fiber bundles that replicate the self-assembly and hierarchy of natural collagen fibers. The electrostatic interaction of methacrylated gellan gum (MeGG) with a countercharged chitosan (CHT) polymer led to the complexation of the polyelectrolytes. When directed through a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channel, the polyelectrolytes formed a hierarchical fibrous hydrogel demonstrating nano-scale periodic light/dark bands similar to D-periodic bands in native collagen and aligned parallel fibrils at micro-scale. Importantly, collagen-mimicking hydrogel fibers exhibited robust mechanical properties (MPa scale) at a single fiber bundle level and enabled encapsulation of cells inside the fibers under cell-friendly mild conditions. Presence of carboxyl- (in gellan gum) or amino- (in chitosan) functionalities further enabled controlled peptide functionalization such as RGD for biochemical mimicry (cell adhesion sites) of native collagen. This biomimetic aligned fibrous hydrogel system can potentially be used as a scaffold for tissue engineering as well as a drug/gene delivery vehicle.

Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) is a versatile biomaterial that has been used in various biomedical fields. Thus far, however, GelMA is mostly obtained from mammalian sources, which are associated with a risk of transmission of diseases, such as mad cow disease, as well as certain religious restrictions. In this study, we synthesized GelMA using fish-derived gelatin by a conventional GelMA synthesis method, and evaluated its physical properties and cell responses. The lower melting point of fish gelatin compared to porcine gelatin allowed larger-scale synthesis of GelMA and enabled hydrogel fabrication at room temperature. The properties (mechanical strength, water swelling degree and degradation rate) of fish GelMA differed from those of porcine GelMA, and could be tuned to suit diverse applications. Cells adhered, proliferated, and formed networks with surrounding cells on fish GelMA, and maintained high initial cell viability. These data suggest that fish GelMA could be utilized in a variety of biomedical fields as a substitute for mammalian-derived materials.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine has been providing exciting technologies for the development of functional substitutes aimed to repair and regenerate damaged tissues and organs. Inspired by the hierarchical nature of bone, nanostructured biomaterials are gaining a singular attention for tissue engineering, owing their ability to promote cell adhesion and proliferation, and hence new bone growth, compared with conventional microsized materials. Of particular interest are nanocomposites involving biopolymeric matrices and bioactive nanosized fillers. Biodegradability, high mechanical strength, and osteointegration and formation of ligamentous tissue are properties required for such materials. Biopolymers are advantageous due to their similarities with extracellular matrices, specific degradation rates, and good biological performance. By its turn, calcium phosphates possess favorable osteoconductivity, resorbability, and biocompatibility. Herein, an overview on the available natural polymer/calcium phosphate nanocomposite materials, their design, and properties is presented. Scaffolds, hydrogels, and fibers as biomimetic strategies for tissue engineering, and processing methodologies are described. The specific biological properties of the nanocomposites, as well as their interaction with cells, including the use of bioactive molecules, are highlighted. Nanocomposites in vivo studies using animal models are also reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
A new methodology is reported for the continuous, solvent- and oil-free production of photopolymerizable microparticles containing encapsulated human dermal fibroblasts. A precursor solution of cells in photoreactive poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-fibrinogen (PF) polymer was transported through a transparent injector exposed to light irradiation before being atomized in a jet-in-air nozzle. Shear rheometry data revealed the crosslinking kinetics of the PF/cell solution, which was then used to determine the amount of irradiation required to partially polymerize the mixture just prior to atomization. The partially polymerized drops of PF/cells fell into a gelation bath for further crosslinking until fully polymerized hydrogel microparticles were formed. As the drops of solution exited the air-in-jet nozzle, their viscosity was designed to be sufficiently high so as to prevent rapid mixing and/or dilution in the gelation bath, but without undergoing complete gelation in the nozzle. Several parameters of this system were varied to control the size and polydispersity of the microparticles, including the cell density, the flow rate and the air pressure in the nozzle. The system was capable of producing cell-laden microparticles with an average diameter of between 88.1 to 347.1 μm, and a dispersity of between 1.1 and 2.4, depending on the parameters chosen. Varying the precursor flow rate and/or cell density was beneficial in controlling the size and polydispersity of the microparticles; all microparticles exhibited very high cell viability, which was not affected by these parameters. In conclusion, this dropwise photopolymerization methodology for preparing cell-laden microparticles is an attractive alternative to existing techniques that use harsh solvents/oils and offer limited control over particle size and polydispersity.
