λ-Carrageenan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide, is primarily utilized in the exploration of inflammation and arthritic pain through the development of model systems. Distinct from its counterparts, κ- and ι-carrageenans, which are known for their helix-forming and gelling properties, λ-carrageenan is characterized by its non-gelling behavior. This feature renders it particularly valuable in research applications, where its stability and consistency are essential. In cell culture experiments, λ-carrageenan serves an important role as a scaffold, facilitating tissue regeneration studies. This application capitalizes on its unique molecular composition and physical properties, enabling researchers to mimic various cellular environments and interactions, thereby advancing our understanding of tissue engineering processes and inflammatory pathways.
