A Comprehensive Review on Ulvan Based Hydrogel and Its Biomedical Applications

Ulvan is a natural sulfated polysaccharide obtained from marine green algae composed of 3-sulfated rhamnoglucuronan as the main component. It has unique chemical structure that rich L-rhamnosa, D-glucuronic acid, and L-iduronic acid. similar to glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in mammals including chondroitin sulfate, dermatan heparan sulfate broad range applications for many years. Here, we provide an overview ulvan based hydrogels biomedical applications. Hydrogels are one advances polymer science application drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing. This review presented about functional information promising potential biomedicals collected published papers Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar. Other important aspects concerning properties, hydrogel-forming mechanisms, hydrogel developments were reported well. As conclusion, showed interesting properties forming
