“…These modifications can be incorporated onto medical devices requiring pharmacological activity to anchor biologically active molecules. For example, biological dressings for wounds treatment with these modifications are being currently marketed and others are under development (Peršin et al, 2014).…”

Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on Earth, and certain organisms from bacteria to plants and animals synthesize cellulose as an extracellular polymer for various biological functions. Humans have used cellulose for millennia as a material and an energy source, and the advent of a lignocellulosic fuel industry will elevate it to the primary carbon source for the burgeoning renewable energy sector. Despite the biological and societal importance of cellulose, the molecular mechanism by which it is synthesized is now only beginning to emerge. On the basis of recent advances in structural and molecular biology on bacterial cellulose synthases, we review emerging concepts of how the enzymes polymerize glucose molecules, how the nascent polymer is transported across the plasma membrane, and how bacterial cellulose biosynthesis is regulated during biofilm formation. Additionally, we review evolutionary commonalities and differences between cellulose synthases that modulate the nature of the cellulose product formed.

“…To obtain the ideal materials for the wound dressings, researchers explored to use different treatment to modify the viscose fiber in its non-woven form. By using the alkali treatment or oxygen plasma treatment, the high hydrophilicity was achieved [72]. It turns out that the introduction of the silver chloride nanoparticles into the cellulose matrics markedly improved the antimicrobial activity, which can be ascribed to the broad spectrum antibacterial quality of the silver, and the hydrophilicity of the wound dressing was also improved in a degree in relation to the untreated viscose fiber.…”

This contribution provides a brief overview of recent progress in cellulose-based superabsorbent hydrogels fabrication approaches, materials and promising applications. At first, different synthesis methods were introduced, including physical crosslink as well as chemical crosslink ways. Second, some of the cellulose series original materials were introduced in this work. In addition, some applications and future research in cellulose-based superabsorbent hydrogels were also discussed in this review.
