Abstract (EN): This review is concerned with the use of polysaccharides for bone regeneration. Cellulose, alginate and chitosan have been chosen as examples of the formidable potential of this class of materials. Many others could be cited but our experience and research interests dictated the choice. As in many areas of research we know how they started but we cannot see how and if they will end. Modification of cellulose was our entrance to the world of polysaccharides and a lot of what we know we owe to Charles Baquey, to whom we would like to express our immense gratitude. This chapter is dedicated to him, for his cooperation, unlimited enthusiasm and friendship.
