The scope of the article is to present a highlight on the most recent and contemporary publications in the field of hybrid materials, which are composed of polysaccharides for the biomedical applications, which are mainly targeted to the field like theranostics, biosensors, actuators, and tissue engineering. Noteworthy discussion presented in this article will focus on the peculiar composite materials based on biological substrates like cellulose and chitin/CS, apart from these biological compounds a focus is also made on the multi-structural substrates to discuss the wide domain of its pros and cons relating to its application. Further, a shadowing glimpse on the use of liquid crystals-based materials as a bio-material substrates is presented in the subsequent section of this, most notably liquid crystalline nanocellulose has been drawn to discuss its effects within the field of scaffolding for tissue engineering. The functionality of Polysaccharides have also been used extensively in the last few decades as the purpose for effective colloidal stabilizers, agents which can increase biocompatibility, supplanting the chemical functionality to nanostructures, namely inorganic nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, quantum dots (QDs), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs). These stoichiometry combinations had led to the development of precise most advanced hybrid materials which is composed mainly of extensively of two components, an organic(Carbonic Substrate) and an inorganic (Non-Carbonic Substrate) that has imparted substantial impact in several research fields, including in the material sciences and foremost in the fields of biomedical applications.
