Protein Immobilization on Bacterial Cellulose for Biomedical Application

The document reviews the use of bacterial cellulose (BC) as a promising material for protein immobilization in biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, high porosity, and ease of modification. BC is highlighted for its potential in wound dressings, tissue engineering, and drug delivery systems, offering advantages like non-toxicity and biodegradability. Despite its benefits, BC requires modifications to improve its antimicrobial properties and degradation rate. Techniques such as microbial fermentation and chemical modification are used to enhance these properties. BC composites have shown promise in various applications, including bone and nerve tissue engineering, and as scaffolds for cancer cell models. The document emphasizes the need for further research to optimize BC's properties and expand its applications in innovative biomedical solutions.
