Chitin and chitosan are considerably versatile and promising biomaterials. The deacetylated
chitin derivative, chitosan is more useful and interesting bioactive polymer. Despite its …

In this study, we investigated in vitro the role of the degree of acetylation (DA) on some
biological properties of chitosan films. We noticed that, whatever the DA, all chitosan films …

As part of our ongoing effort to develop a biodegradable nerve guidance channel based on
chitin/chitosan, we conducted a systematic in vitro study on the biodegradation and neural …

The natural biopolymer chitin and its deacetylated product chitosan are found abundantly in
nature as structural building blocks and are used in all sectors of human activities like …
