This chapter provides concepts about cellulose, its derivatives, and its application, as a biomaterial for drug delivery. Cellulose sources, structure, and characteristics such as polymorphisms will be discussed and an emphasis on nanoscale will be presented, featuring versatile materials such as nanofibers and nanocrystals. The chapter also presents the recent applications of these materials as drug delivery systems, especially in gels, as hydrogels.
