“…Cellulose and its derivatives have been widely used in the pharmaceutical industry due to their ability to swell and their high compatibility, which makes them suitable for drug delivery in oral tablet and capsule formulations [ 342 , 343 , 344 ]. Additionally, cellulose derivatives may be able to form hydrogels that exhibit favorable biological and rheological properties for biomedical applications [ 345 , 346 ], mainly wound dressing, transdermal patches [ 326 , 347 ], ophthalmic preparations [ 348 ] and cartilage tissue engineering [ 349 , 350 ], as well as the 3D bioprinting of cellularized structures [ 21 , 43 , 49 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 ].…”
