“…Due to this reason, the application of chitosan is not only confined to environmental applications but also emerges in different fields of science and technology. Biopolymers such as chitosan with its distinctive gel-forming capacity, particularly when coupled with nanoparticles like Ag ZnO, TiO 2 , etc., [ 73 , 74 , 78 ] in bionanocomposites or nanocomposites, hold great promise in food packaging [ 79 ], biomedical [ 78 , 80 , 81 ], and textile applications [ 82 , 83 ], in addition to environmental applications [ 84 , 85 ]. Accompanied by interesting characteristics, chitosan has some drawbacks as well including limited selectivity for certain contaminants.…”

Essential for human development, water is increasingly polluted by diverse anthropogenic activities, containing contaminants like organic dyes, acids, antibiotics, inorganic salts, and heavy metals. Conventional methods fall short, prompting the exploration of advanced, cost-effective remediation. Recent research focuses on sustainable adsorption, with nano-modifications enhancing adsorbent efficacy against persistent waterborne pollutants. This review delves into recent advancements (2020–2023) in sustainable biopolymeric nanocomposites, spotlighting the applications of biopolymers like chitosan in wastewater remediation, particularly as adsorbents and filtration membranes along with their mechanism. The advantages and drawbacks of various biopolymers have also been discussed along with their modification in synthesizing biopolymeric nanocomposites by combining the benefits of biodegradable polymers and nanomaterials for enhanced physiochemical and mechanical properties for their application in wastewater treatment. The important functions of biopolymeric nanocomposites by adsorbing, removing, and selectively targeting contaminants, contributing to the purification and sustainable management of water resources, have also been elaborated on. Furthermore, it outlines the reusability and current challenges for the further exploration of biopolymers in this burgeoning field for environmental applications.

“…Dextran, a hydrophilic polysaccharide produced by bacteria, consists of linear chains of α-1,6-linked d-glucopyranose residues [ 104 , 105 ]. It is known for its good biocompatibility, biodegradability, water retention, and easy modification, as well as its ability to reduce ROS and excess platelet activation, hence decreasing inflammatory responses and vascular thrombosis [ 72 , 104 , 106 ].…”

The imbalance of local and systemic factors in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) delays, or even interrupts, the highly complex and dynamic process of wound healing, leading to diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) in 15 to 25% of cases. DFU is the leading cause of non-traumatic amputations worldwide, posing a huge threat to the well-being of individuals with DM and the healthcare system. Moreover, despite all the latest efforts, the efficient management of DFUs still remains a clinical challenge, with limited success rates in treating severe infections. Biomaterial-based wound dressings have emerged as a therapeutic strategy with rising potential to handle the tricky macro and micro wound environments of individuals with DM. Indeed, biomaterials have long been related to unique versatility, biocompatibility, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, and wound healing properties, features that make them ideal candidates for therapeutic applications. Furthermore, biomaterials may be used as a local depot of biomolecules with anti-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic, and antimicrobial properties, further promoting adequate wound healing. Accordingly, this review aims to unravel the multiple functional properties of biomaterials as promising wound dressings for chronic wound healing, and to examine how these are currently being evaluated in research and clinical settings as cutting-edge wound dressings for DFU management.

The usage of short peptide-based polysaccharide hydrogels for tissue engineering was discussed in this review. It explained the drawbacks of employing short peptide-based polysaccharide hydrogels as tissue regeneration scaffolds while highlighting their benefits. In this review, we first gave a brief overview of short peptide-based polysaccharide hydrogel design process. Then, we provided additionally detailed information of the hydrogels with categorized polysaccharides (hyaluronic acid, dextran, chitosan, alginate, and agarose). We also explained the bioactive short peptides Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD), Ile-Lys-Val-Ala-Val (IKVAV), and Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg (YIGSR) that were used to modify these polysaccharide hydrogels in order to enhance cell behaviors including survival, adhesion, proliferation, and migration. Their applications in tissue engineering were also demonstrated and summarized in this review.
