“…However, there are many other biodegradable, biocompatible polymers obtained from renewable sources to be used, such as lignin, alginate, cellulose and zein (Darder et al ., 2020; Urzedo et al ., 2020; Low et al ., 2021). In addition to polymeric nanoparticles, there are different classes of nanomaterials for NO incorporation (via nanoencapsulation or surface functionalization) as liposomes (Suchyta & Schoenfisch, 2015), metal/metal oxide nanoparticles coated with organic matrix (Santos et al ., 2016; Pieretti et al ., 2021), and carbon‐based nanomaterials (Tanum et al ., 2019; Jin et al ., 2021) (Fig. 1b).…”
