Abstract:
Modification of Hyaluronic acid (HA) with Sodium metaperiodate (NaIO4) results in the formation of oxidized HA (OHA). OHA containing multiple aldehyde groups can easily react with the materials having amino functionality via formation of Schiff base linkage, resulting in the formation of OHA based hydrogel scaffolds. These hydrogels have recently attracted considerable attention as scaffolds for tissue engineering (TE) applications. Thus, the aim of the present review is to give an overview on OHA based hydrogels as scaffolds and their potential application in the field of TE along with the method of synthesis and important properties of OHA.

Lewis Acids and Bases
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...
Ions as Acids and Bases
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:
