TL;DR: Alginate based composite biomaterials will be promising for bone tissue regeneration because of their enhanced biochemical significance in terms of porosity, mechanical strength, cell adhesion, biocompatibility, cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase increase, excellent mineralization and osteogenic differentiation.

TL;DR: This overview mainly focuses on biological effects of chitosan and its derivatives as well as presents their potential applications as ingredients in functional foods and nutraceuticals for the prevention or treatment of chronic diseases.

TL;DR: This review has focused attention on the bioactive natural products isolated from marine actinobacteria, possessing unique chemical structures that may form the basis for synthesis of novel drugs that could be used to combat resistant pathogenic microorganisms.

TL;DR: Alginate, carrageenan, fucoidan, and ulvan are widely used marine derived polysaccharides for biological and biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility and availability and the gel forming property of alginate has increased its applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery as an extracellular matrix and delivery vehicle.

TL;DR: Results suggest that nHA derived from salmon is a promising biomaterial in the field of bone tissue engineering.
