The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Superabsorbent hydrogels based on polysaccharides for application in agriculture as soil conditioner and nutrient carrier: A review (2015, background): “Alternatively, natural polymers, especially the polysaccharides, have been largely used to replace (or be combined with) those polymers [18–20].”
Dextran: Sources, Structures, and Properties (2021, background): “In medicine, high molecular weight dextran (between 40 and 70 kDa) has been used as an extender, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, osmotic agent, and intravenous plasma lubricant; in addition, it is used as a cryopreservative for vaccines and organs [8,28].”
Magnetic nanoparticles for gene and drug delivery (2008, unknown): “Functionalization is also possible by making use of the hydroxyl groups on the carbohydrate skeletons (Heinze et al 2006).”
