Polysaccharide matrices used in 3D in vitro cell culture systems
Abstract
Polysaccharides comprise a diverse class of polymeric materials with a history of proven biocompatibility and continual use as biomaterials. Recent focus on new matrices appropriate for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture offers new opportunities to apply polysaccharides as extracellular matrix mimics. However, chemical and structural bases for specific cell-polysaccharide interactions essential for their utility as 3-D cell matrices are not well defined. This review describes how these naturally sourced biomaterials satisfy several key properties for current 3D cell culture needs and can also be synthetically modified or blended with additional components to tailor their cell engagement properties. Beyond their benign interactions with many cell types in cultures, their economical and high quality sourcing, optical clarity for ex situ analytical interrogation and in situ gelation represent important properties of these polymers for 3D cell culture applications. Continued diversification of their versatile glycan chemistry, new bio-synthetic sourcing strategies and elucidation of new cell-specific properties are attractive to expand the polysaccharide polymer utility for cell culture needs. Many 3D cell culture priorities are addressed with the portfolio of polysaccharide materials available and under development. This review provides a critical analysis of their properties, capabilities and challenges in 3D cell culture applications.

The polyanionic behaviour of xanthan gum due to its acetic and pyruvic acid groups influences gluten-free batter properties, allowing more interactions with water through hydrogen bonds.
“According to Diekjürgen & Grainger (Diekjürgen & Grainger, 2017), this phenomenon is an effect of the polyanionic behaviour of xanthan gum due to the acetic and pyruvic acid groups of its chemical structure.These acid groups influence the GF batter properties, allowing more interactions with water through hydrogen bonds.”
From Combined effect of xanthan gum and water content on physicochemical and textural properties of gluten-free batter and bread (2018) · cites this paper as Diekjürgen & Grainger, 2017
Xanthan gum is largely used in gluten-free breadmaking because it can hydrate in cold water and produce a viscous solution with strong shear-thinning flow behaviour.
“Xanthan gum, a polysaccharide produced by the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris, is largely used in GF breadmaking, because it can hydrate in cold water and produce a viscous solution with strong shear-thinning flow behaviour (Diekjürgen & Grainger, 2017;Peressini, Pin, & Sensidoni, 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
