A review of polysaccharide based hydrogel as cell carrier in wound healing

Various types of wound treatment materials have been developed that influenced by numerous wound types and wound management using hydrogel has been explored and widely used before. Among current strategies of development of hydrogel is the one that can act as a cell carrier that is applicable for wound healing. Thus, this study is conducted for reviewing the synthesis and method approaches for various polysaccharide-based hydrogel as wound healing materials. In other hand, this study is concerning on properties of hydrogel and their biological role as cell carrier that can support wound healing process by reviewing studies that related to polysaccharide-based hydrogel as cell carrier. Various types of polysaccharide-based hydrogel such as alginate, chitosan and hyaluronic acid have been developed using different type of approaches for wound healing. They can capsulate various type of cells that and the formed polymers give an excellent support for the cells such as to be delivered to the host tissues as well as aiding angiogenesis to accelerate wound healing. The emerging polysaccharide-based hydrogel for wound carrier has a very promising criterion that can be polished further due to its favorable qualities in assisting wound healing mechanisms.
