Resumo(s)
Due to their outstanding properties in terms of mild gelation conditions
and simple functionalization, biocompatibility, low toxicity, biodegradability,
non-antigenicity and chelating ability, as well as relatively low cost, alginates have
been widely used in a variety of biomedical applications including tissue engineering
and drug delivery systems. Smart alginate hydrogels for on-demand drug release in
response to environmental stimuli and 3D bioprinting will play an important role in
the future. These and the introduction of appropriate cell interactive features will be
crucial for many tissue engineering applications. The focus of the present chapter is
to highlight the great potential of the alginates as biomaterial for biomedical applications
and to discuss the role that alginate-based materials are likely to play in
biomedical applications in the future.
