Fabrication of biocompatible hydrogels from pine resin

Abstract

This short review aims to look at some of the applications based on potential pine associated resin (rosin) composites for cell culture studies via hydrogel fabrication. Although hitherto there are only a few links to pine resin based hydrogel formation in the public domain, literature work based rosin incorporated drug delivery studies and its associated uses can be useful for extensive works on the cell interaction and viability. Rosin in such case may be optimised to afford similar characteristics hence applications.
