Roadmap of algal autotrophic tissue engineering in the avenue of regenerative wound therapy

Abstract

In spite of remarkable advancements in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in recent years, a notable gap remains in the availability of economically feasible and efficient treatments to address the hypoxic conditions within wounds. This perspective delves into cutting-edge strategies leveraging autotrophic tissue engineering for regenerative medicine, and provides new pathways for wound healing and repair. Autotrophic tissue engineering harnesses the innate photosynthetic ability of algae to provide optimal oxygen levels within cell-seeded scaffolds. This innovative approach attempts to fabricate tissue constructs endowed with self-sustainability. It also reduces the dependence on external nutrient sources, and seeks to produce functional scaffolds suitable for 3D bioprinting applications. Similarly, we envision a creative design approach focused on devising a novel methodology to functionalize carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with fucoidan derived from algae through click chemistry.
