Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) Seed Polysaccharide: A promising biopolymer for drug delivery, wound healing, tissue engineering and beyond.

Tamarind Seed Polysaccharide (TSP) is a versatile and sustainable biopolymer that has garnered considerable attention for its wide-ranging applications in diverse fields. Derived from the seeds of Tamarindus indica L., TSP offers an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic biopolymers, aligning with the growing demand for natural materials.

Design and optimization of tamarind seed polysaccharide-based scaffold for tissue engineering applications using statistical modeling and machine learning, and it's in-vitro validation.

This study explores the development and optimization of a novel biomaterial scaffold for tissue engineering, composed of Tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP), Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), Chitosan (CS), and Sodium alginate (ALG). Scaffold properties, including swelling, degradation, porosity, mechanical strength, conductivity, and surface wettability, were analyzed. Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling, the optimal scaffold (THAC) composition was determined to be 30.

Zirconia based composite scaffolds and their application in bone tissue engineering.

In the field of bone tissue engineering, biomimetic scaffold utilization is deemed an immensely promising method. The bio-ceramic material Zirconia (ZrO) has garnered significant attention in the biomimetic scaffolds realm due to its remarkable biocompatibility, superior mechanical strength, and exceptional chemical stability. Numerous examinations have been conducted to investigate the properties and functions of biomimetic structures built from zirconia.

Assessment of properties, applications and limitations of scaffolds based on cellulose and its derivatives for cartilage tissue engineering: A review.

Cartilage is a connective tissue, which is made up of ~80% of water. It is alymphatic, aneural and avascular with only one type of cells present, chondrocytes. They constitute about 1-5% of the entire cartilage tissue.
