This paper provides a solid foundation for understanding the synthesis, properties, and applications of cellulose-based gels. It effectively showcases the potential of these gels in diverse applications, particularly in biomedicine, and highlights key synthesis methods and properties. However, to push the field forward, future research should address the gaps in understanding the environmental impact, mechanical stability, and scalability of cellulose-based gels, while also considering how to overcome barriers to their industrial use. This will ultimately allow for the realization of cellulose-based gels in large-scale, sustainable applications.

Carob pulp is a valuable source of cellulose-rich fraction (CRF) for many food applications. This study aimed to obtain and characterize a CRF derived from carob pulp waste after sugar removal and to evaluate its potential use in the 3D printing of cellulose-rich foods. Thus, the extraction of the CRF present in carob pulp (by obtaining the alcohol-insoluble residue) was carried out, accounting for nearly 45% dm (dry matter) of this byproduct.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the potential of using bacterial cellulose as a carrier for glycyrrhetinic acid, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties useful in treating eczema.
- This research focuses on creating and evaluating glycyrrhizic acid hydrogels utilizing unmodified bacterial cellulose, employing methods like physical crosslinking and optimization techniques.
- Findings indicate that the glycyrrhizic acid-bacterial cellulose hydrogel shows good skin permeability, minimal irritation, and effectively supports skin recovery from induced eczema, outperforming conventional hydrogels.

Cellulose based aerogels have recently gained a lot of interest in the past few years because of their sustainability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biosafety. Cellulose is an excellent raw material for the preparation of aerogels because of its advantages of strong renewability, low cost, good biocompatibility and easy degradation. The nanoscale cellulose can be prepared by physical, chemical and biological enzyme methods for the preparation of nanocellulose based aerogels (NCBAs).
