Marine-derived biopolymers such as fucoidan, alginate, and chitosan offer a highly adaptable platform for the development of advanced drug and bioactive substance delivery systems. These polysaccharides exhibit inherent bioactivity, biocompatibility, and tunable physicochemical properties, enabling their use in both surface coatings for scaffolds and injectable hydrogel formulations. This work presents an integrated strategy for engineering multifunctional regenerative materials by leveraging the versatility of marine biopolymers across different delivery modalities.
