Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the demand for renewable resources is also increasing. Polysaccharides as a kind of renewable, easy to degrade, non-toxic new biological material have gradually received extensive attention. Polysaccharides are characterized by their unique biocompatibility, good biodegradability, low toxicity, and bioactivity. They have been widely used in the biomaterials field. Polysaccharide-based biomaterials will be discussed in this Special Issue.
Polysaccharide-based biomaterial is a new kind of biological functional material with wide applications. Its preparation and application have been widely studied, as polysaccharide-based biomaterials have become a hot spot in current biotechnology research. In this Special Issue, the research progress of polysaccharide-based biomaterial will be discussed, including the nano-drug carriers, wound dressing hydrogel, 3D cell culture scaffolds, etc.
