“…In the last decades, the dry membrane, scaffolds, fibers, and hydrogels of chitin/chitosan in wound healing applications have been explored, and their mechanisms have been analyzed in vitro and in vivo [ 55 , 80 , 139 , 140 , 141 , 142 ]. Nevertheless, the finely distributed nanostructures and open porous network of aerogels of chitin and chitosan will be a new class of porous materials for this field of application (examples are listed in Table 2 ).…”

Improved wound healing of burnt skin and skin lesions, as well as medical implants and replacement products, requires the support of synthetical matrices. Yet, producing synthetic biocompatible matrices that exhibit specialized flexibility, stability, and biodegradability is challenging. Synthetic chitin/chitosan matrices may provide the desired advantages for producing specialized grafts but must be modified to improve their properties. Synthetic chitin/chitosan hydrogel and aerogel techniques provide the advantages for improvement with a bioinspired view adapted from the natural molecular toolbox. To this end, animal genetics provide deep knowledge into which molecular key factors decisively influence the properties of natural chitin matrices. The genetically identified proteins and enzymes control chitin matrix assembly, architecture, and degradation. Combining synthetic chitin matrices with critical biological factors may point to the future direction with engineering materials of specific properties for biomedical applications such as burned skin or skin blistering and extensive lesions due to genetic diseases.

“…In the last few decades, marine polysaccharides from algae have gained considerable attention from the fundamental research and practical biomedical applications owing to their inherent (bio)physicochemical characteristics, such as favorable biocompatibility and biodegradability, remarkable bioactivity, as well as outstanding structural functionalities ( Bilal and Iqbal, 2020 ; Zheng et al, 2020 ; He et al, 2021 ; Jing et al, 2021 ; Yang et al, 2021 ). In particular, fucoidan is a water-soluble fucose-based sulfated polysaccharide, which has remarkable multiple bioactivities, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antithrombotic, anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic, immunomodulatory, and antitumor functions ( Lin et al, 2020a ; Apostolova et al, 2020 ; Etman et al, 2020 ; Hao et al, 2020 ; Zhu et al, 2021a ; Hao et al, 2021 ; Zheng et al, 2021 ).…”

Fucoidan has received increasing attention in anti-(lung) tumors. However, the effect of fucoidan on the gene changes of lung cancer cells (LCCs) has not been examined systematically. Herein, we investigate the effect of fucoidan on the phenotypes of LCCs and their gene expression by transcriptome sequencing analysis. The phenotypes of LCCs are significantly inhibited by fucoidan. Importantly, compared to LCCs, 1 mg/ml fucoidan has no effect on the phenotypes of normal cells. Further, 6,930 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the transcriptome of LCCs (3,501 up-regulated and 3,429 down-regulated genes) are detected via RNA-sequencing between the fucoidan and control groups. Gene Ontology analysis confirms that DEGs are reflected in DNA replication, cell-substrate junction, regulation of cell cycle phase transition, apoptosis, focal adhesion, cadherin binding, and cell adhesion molecule binding. Thus, our findings on the transcriptomic level highlight the therapeutic potential of fucoidan for lung cancer treatment.

“…EPS can Microbial polysaccharides find their applications in a wide range of non-food products and industrial purposes. In recent years, significant progress has been made in discovering and developing new bacterial polysaccharides with novel functional properties [30]. For example, microbial EPS promotes aggregation of soil particles, benefiting plants by keeping moisture in the environment and trapping nutrients [31].…”

In this study Bacillus amyloliquefaciens RK3 was isolated from a sugar mill effluent-contaminated soil and utilised to generate a potential polysaccharide with anti-Alzheimer’s activity. Traditional and molecular methods were used to validate the strain. The polysaccharide produced by B. amyloliquefaciens RK3 was purified, and the yield was estimated to be 10.35 gL−1. Following purification, the polysaccharide was structurally and chemically analysed. The structural analysis revealed the polysaccharide consists of α-d-mannopyranose (α-d-Manp) and β-d-galactopyranose (β-d-Galp) monosaccharide units connected through glycosidic linkages (i.e, β-d-Galp(1→6)β-d-Galp (1→6)β-d-Galp(1→2)β-d-Galp(1→2)[β-d-Galp(1→6)]β-d-Galp(1→2)α-d-Manp(1→6)α-d-Manp (1→6)α-d-Manp(1→6)α-d-Manp(1→6)α-d-Manp). The scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy imaging of polysaccharides emphasise their compactness and branching in the usual tubular heteropolysaccharide structure. The purified exopolysaccharide significantly impacted the plaques formed by the amyloid proteins during Alzheimer’s disease. Further, the results also highlighted the potential applicability of exopolysaccharide in various industrial and pharmaceutical applications.
