    Abstract
    Polysaccharides are an idiosyncratic source of organic natural materials apropos structural diversity, functionalities, and abundance. In their indigenous state, few of their functionalities inhabit their material form as hydrogels, consequently proffering molecular tactics to be exploited. Recently, polysaccharide-based hydrogels utilizing the Schiff base bonds or dynamic imine chemistry as crosslinks have been widely explored owing to their high sensitivity, good flexibility, enhanced recyclability, stimuli-responsiveness, and tissue adhesion. The polysaccharide-derived Schiff...
