Abstract

Polysaccharides, ubiquitous and essential components of biological systems, have garnered increasing attention as promising applicants for the expansion of theranostic agents. Recent interest in polysaccharides has surged because of their unique properties, making them ideal natural biomolecules for developing TA. This research explores the diverse applications of polysaccharides in the design and fabrication of multifunctional theranostic platforms that integrate diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities. Because polysaccharides are biocompatible, biodegradable, and have low toxicity, they present viable options for creating theranostic systems that are both safe and effective. This review summarizes the latest advancements in polysaccharide-based theranostics, discussing their synthesis, physicochemical properties, and applications in ailment diagnosis, imaging, and targeted drug distribution. The potential of these natural biomolecules to revolutionize personalized medicine and enhance patient outcomes is also explored.
