Abstract
Recent studies have used more marine-origin polysaccharides since they are widely available, economical, biocompatible, and biodegradable.These characteristics promote their technological use in water treatment, tissue engineering, cancer therapy, wound dressing, drug delivery systems, and biosensors.Due to its versatility and capacity to be produced from waste marine crustaceans, chitosan is becoming more and more important in a range of fields.It is first utilized in biomedical applications due to its versatile properties, which include biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, and biodegradability.A summary of marine polysaccharides (chitosan), including its supply, chemical, biological characteristics, and uses in tissue engineering, is given in this review.
