Abstract

We report on the latest scientific advances related to the use of porous foams and gels prepared with cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and nanocrystals (CNC) as well as bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) – collectively nanocelluloses – as biomedical materials for application in tissue regeneration. Interest in such applications stems from the lightweight and strong structures that can be efficiently produced from these nanocelluloses. Dried nanocellulose foams and gels, including xerogels, cryogels, and aerogels have been synthesized effortlessly using green, scalable, and cost-effective techniques. Methods to control structural features (e.g., porosity, morphology, and mechanical performance) and biological interactions (e.g., biocompatibility and biodegradability) are discussed in light of specific tissues of interest. The state-of-the-art in the field of nanocellulose-based scaffolds for tissue engineering is presented, covering physicochemical and biological properties relevant to these porous systems that promise groundbreaking advances. Specifically, these materials show excellent performance for in vitro cell culturing and in vivo implantation. We report on recent efforts related to BNC scaffolds used in animal and human implants, which furthermore support the viability of CNF- and CNC-based scaffolds in next-generation biomedical materials.

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.
