Challenges in organ transplantation such as high organ demand and biocompatibility issues
have led scientists in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to work on …

Abstract A chitosan-pectin (CS-PEC) biopolymeric hydrogel wound dressing was
investigated for lidocaine delivery. Here we demonstrate for the first time the feasibility of …

The emergence of nontoxic, eco-friendly, and biocompatible polymers derived from natural
sources has added a new and exciting dimension to the development of low-cost and …

The development of a polymer-nanogel hydrogel based on a pair of polysaccharides is
reported for the first time. This new hydrogel exhibits self-healing properties due to physical …

Here we report a new and straightforward method to yield durable polyelectrolyte complexes
(hydrogel PECs) from gellan gum (GG) and chitosan (CS) assemblies, without metallic and …

Polyelectrolyte complexes of chitosan (Ch) and pectin (Pc) or alginate (Alg) were produced
in the presence or absence of the silicone gel Silpuran® 2130 A/B (Sil) and the surfactant …

Abstract β-chitin nanofibers (β-ChNFs) were efficiently prepared from squid pens by a
combination of ball milling and ultrasonic techniques. The gellation of the β-ChNFs …

Tissue engineering provides solutions for patients awaiting for transplantation. Tissue
engineering solutions help doctors to deliver tissue equivalent to damaged tissue. Such …

ABSTRACT A series of drug‐loaded pectin hydrogels were prepared by mixing method in
two ion types, Ca+ 2 or Zn+ 2, for wound dressing applications and their drug release …

Poly (ε-caprolactone), an aliphatic polyester with biodegradability and cytocompatibility, has
been used to create scaffolds for tissue engineering purposes. However, the hydrophobicity …
