AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Cartilage repair and regeneration have become a global issue that millions of patients from all over the world need surgical intervention to repair the articular cartilage annually due to the limited self-healing capability of the cartilage tissues. Cartilage tissue engineering has gained significant attention in cartilage repair and regeneration by integration of the chondrocytes (or stem cells) and the artificial scaffolds. Recently, polysaccharide-protein based scaffolds have demonstrated unique and promising mechanical and biological properties as the artificial extracellular matrix of natural cartilage. In this review, we summarize the modification methods for polysaccharides and proteins. The preparation strategies for the polysaccharide-protein based hydrogel scaffolds are presented. We discuss the mechanical, physical and biological properties of the polysaccharide-protein based scaffolds. Potential clinical translation and challenges on the artificial scaffolds are also discussed.

Natural endogenous materials (NEMs), such as cell and cell derivatives, polysaccharide, protein and peptide, and nucleic acid-derived vectors, often exhibit biocompatibility, biodegradability and natural homing ability, which can minimize adverse reactions in vivo and have the potential to improve drug delivery efficacy. Currently, a variety of drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on NEMs have been constructed for macromolecules to address the challenges posed by their inherent large size, intricate structure, low permeability, and susceptibility to harsh environments. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of various delivery strategies that predominantly utilize NEMs as carriers for macromolecular delivery.

Polysaccharide-protein complexes have proven to be effective nano-carrier with high stability. In this work, walnut protein hydrolysates (WPH) prepared through limited enzymolysis were considered as encapsulation carriers to solve the limited water solubility and bioavailability of icariin, a bioactive compound in functional foods. The pH-driven method was employed to prepare WPH-icariin nanoparticles (WPHI).

Polyphenols are plant secondary metabolites that have attracted much attention due to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and gut homeostasis promoting effects. However, food matrix interaction, poor solubility, and strong digestion and metabolism of polyphenols cause barriers to their absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, which further reduces bioavailability and limits polyphenols' application in the food industry. Nano-delivery systems composed of biocompatible macromolecules (polysaccharides, proteins and lipids) are an effective way to improve the bioavailability of polyphenols.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of producing electrospun fibers by combining polysaccharides, zein, and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) to simulate the fibers applied in plant-based meat analogs. The rheological properties of biopolymer solutions were evaluated, and the electrospun fibers were characterized according to their morphology, structural interactions, and thermal analysis. The results indicated that the fibers prepared in a ratio of 90:10 of zein/carrageenan from the mixture of a solution containing 23 wt.
