Chitin is one of the most diverse and naturally occurring biopolymers, and it is mainly
present in crustaceans, insects, and fungi. Chitosan is derived from chitin by deacetylation …

Chitin and its derivative chitosan are highly abundant polymers in nature, appearing in both
the shells and exoskeletons of various marine and non-marine species. Since they possess …

Chitosan (CS) has been extensively studied because of its biocompatibility,
biodegradability, low toxicity, and good film-forming properties. However, pristine CS has …

Biodegradable chitin is the second-most abundant natural polysaccharide, widely existing in
the exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps, insects, and the cell walls of fungi. Chitosan and …

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of chitosan (CS) coating with oregano
essential oil (OEO)(0.25%–2.0%, v/v) on the microbial and physicochemical characteristics …

The development of tissue-engineered biodegradable artificial tissue substitutes with
extracellular matrix-mimicking properties that govern the interaction between the material …

To develop an effective and mechanically robust wound dressing, a poly (vinyl
alcohol)(PVA)/methacrylate kappa-carrageenan (κ-CaMA) composite hydrogel …

Chitooligosaccharides, also known as chitosan oligomers or chitooligomers, are made up of
chitosan with a degree of polymerization (DP) that is less than 20 and an average molecular …

Injectable hydrogels are of great interest in tissue engineering, and those incorporating
hydroxyapatite (HA) are especially acclaimed in the application of bone repair. Synthetic …

Scars are consequences of the wound healing process, and eliminating scar formation
remains a significant challenge. Here, an injectable HMSC hydrogel was developed based …
