N2 - Owing to special fascinating properties of algae material, it is widely used in food, paper, and textile industries. More promisingly, in clinical applications, algae material can be used as medical implants and devices to promote healing and serve as a carrier for cells during human tissues regeneration process. Nowadays, due to the correlated limitations (such as (1) gelating into soft structure in contact with physiological environment resulted in the failure of the soft tissue regeneration; (2) inappropriate applying in the relevant load bearing body parts), algae material exploration is insufficient in biomedical applications. To solve this problem, the scientific studies devoted to the application of algae material in clinical practice have been explored. To enhance mechanical properties, ameliorate healing capability, and promote tissue regeneration, drug release, and cell viability, algae material and related techniques for clinical applications are therefore marked along with the discussion of the latest trend related to COVID-19. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
