Algae And Bacteria

Alginates are naturally occurring polysaccharides extracted from brown marine algae and bacteria. Being biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic and easy to gel, alginates can be processed into various forms, such as hydrogels, microspheres, fibers and sponges, and have been widely applied in biomedical field. The present review provides an overview of the properties and processing methods of alginates, as well as their applications in wound healing, tissue repair and drug delivery in recent years.

Set Up

One of the largest fields of application of electrospun materials is the biomedical field, including development of scaffolds for tissue engineering, drug delivery and wound healing. Electrospinning appears as a promising technique in terms of scaffolds composition and architecture, which is the main aspect of this review paper, with a special attention to natural polymers including collagen, fibrinogen, silk fibroin, chitosan, chitin etc. Thanks to the adaptability of the electrospinning process, versatile hybrid, custom tailored structure scaffolds have been reported. The same is achieved due to the vast biomaterials’ processability as well as modifications of the basic electrospinning set-up and its combination with other techniques, simultaneously or by post-processing.

Therapeutic Properties

Quercetin (Que) and its derivatives are naturally taking place phytochemicals with promising bioactive belongings. The antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-Alzheimer’s, antiarthritic, cardiovascular, and wound-healing possessions of Que have been extensively investigated, as well as its anticancer commotion against different cancer cell lines has been newly reported. Que and its derivatives are found predominantly in the Western starve yourself, and people might benefit from their defensive effect just by taking them via diets or as a food enhancement. Bioavailability-related drug-delivery systems of Que have also been markedly exploited, and Que nanoparticles become visible as a promising proposal to enhance their bioavailability. The present review aims to make available a brief overview of the therapeutic things, new insights, and forthcoming perspectives of Que. Plants and plant parts are used for its aroma, flavor, or therapeutic properties. There are a number of recompense associated with using plants and plant phytoconstituents as contrasting to pharmaceutical merchandise.

Abstract Wound healing, tissue repair and regenerative medicine are in great demand, and great achievements in these fields have been made. In recent years, many of these successes have benefitted patients, especially in the field of chronic skin wounds. However, perfect tissue repair and regeneration of damaged tissues and organs are still great challenges in the management of trauma and diseases. In this paper, the main achievements in wound healing, tissue repair and regeneration in China are reviewed and the establishment of wound healing centers and new technology application in improving wound healing quality in patients in China is highlighted.

Abstract Natural polymers are being investigated with renewed exuberance as they have a tremendous unexploited potential. During the past few decades, much interest has developed in the biopolymer-based materials due to their biodegradable, nontoxic, biocompatible and non-allergic nature. Chitosan (CS) is the second most abundant naturally occurring amino polysaccharide after cellulose and is extracted from the shells of sea crustaceans. The primary amine group in CS is responsible for its various properties and it is derived from the deacetylated form of chitin. Its biocompatible, nontoxic, biodegradable and antimicrobial properties have led to significant research towards biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, wound healing, drug delivery, obesity treatment, etc. This review summarizes the present work done by researchers in prospects of CS and its numerous applications in the biomedical field.
