Plant-derived resorbable polymers in tissue engineering

Marine Biocompounds for Neuroprotection—A Review

“…Carrageenan comprises a family of hydrophilic high molecular weight biopolymers consisting of linear sulfated galactans [85][86][87][88][89][90]. These galactans are composed of D-galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose residues linked through alternating α(1,3) and β(1,4) glycosidic bonds [88,[91][92][93]. Carrageenan contains a repeated and alternating structure of 1,3-linked β-d-galactopyranose and 1,4-linked α-d-galactopyranose units [87,94,95].…”

“…crospheres embedded in ord injury models [84]. ht biopolymers consisting of D-galactose and 3,6lycosidic bonds [88,[91][92][93] [89,[92][93][94][95][96]. Carrageenan is isolated from the extracellular matrix of red edible algae of the Rhodophyceae class [88][89][90]94,95,97].…”

“…d and alternating structure of 1,3-linked β-d-galactopyranose and 1,4its [87,94,95]. Depending on their structural features, such as sulfate e presence on D-galactose units, there are at least 15 distinct types of , owing to their gelling and viscoelastic properties, κ-, ɩ-, and λimportance [89,[92][93][94][95][96]. Carrageenan is isolated from the extracellular Rhodophyceae class [88][89][90]94,95,97].…”

“…ɩ-carrageenan are produced from warm-water seaweeds, namely uma denticulatum, respectively, while cold-water species comprising drus crispus/Gigartina stellate species produce κ-carrageenan and a λ-carrageenan, respectively [85,89,98,99]. Carrageenan types form re, namely κ-carrageenan forms strong and brittle gels, ι-carrageenan le λ-carrageenan cannot form gels [93,96,99]. κ-carrageenan isolated ae exhibited neuroprotective activity in 6-hydroxydopamine-induced by modulating mitochondria transmembrane potential and reducing mplex family of natural water-soluble sulfated polysaccharides type I and type II branched chains.…”

Biopolymer based three‐dimensional biomimetic micro/nanofibers scaffolds with porous structures via tailored charge repulsions for skin tissue regeneration

“…The plant‐based polymers such as proteins and carbohydrates are very promising for application in tissue engineering amongst a variety of biomaterials 27,28 . Zein (corn protein) is a prominently distinguished plant protein for scholars, due to its excellent biocompatibility, nonimmunogenicity, antioxidant, nontoxic, cell proliferation, and differentiation properties 29‐33 .…”
