Biomedical Applications of Natural Polysaccharides
Prabhakar, Orsu Natural gum polysaccharides use in various biomedical applications is increasing in recent years because of its peculiar properties like biocompatibility, biodegradability, cytocompatibility and with no eliciting of immune response. These properties of gums have the ability to overcome the challenges of biocompatibility and biodegradability in tissue engineering imposed by the other biomaterials (synthetic, ceramics, natural polymers) in use. ...
