Functional cellulose-based hydrogels as extracellular matrices for tissue engineering
TLDR
This review attempts to document the source, nature, and application of cellulose-based hydrogels as an extracellular matrix for tissue growth and regeneration.Abstract:
Cellulose-based hydrogels are immensely important for tissue engineering. In this review, we attempt to document the source, nature, and application of cellulose-based hydrogels as an extracellular matrix for tissue growth and regeneration. Hydrogels can be prepared either from native cellulose, including both bacterial and plant sources or from cellulose derivatives, such as methyl cellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or even metal ions such as silver. Cellulose-polymer composite (polymers that include natural sources including chitosan, starch, alginates, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and chitin) are an attractive, inexpensive, and advantageous structural material that is easy to use. Cellulose-based scaffolding materials are widely used in the regeneration of various tissues, such as bone, cartilage, heart, blood vessel, nerve, and liver, among others. In this review, we discuss the most important applications of cellulosic hydrogels in tissue engineering based on their structural compositions.read more
