Chitin is well characterized in terms of analytical chemistry, is purified from accompanying
compounds, and derivatized in a variety of fashions. Its biochemical significance when …

Calcium sulfate (CS) has enjoyed a longer history of clinical use than most currently
available biomaterials. It is well‐tolerated when used to fill bone defects and undergoes …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are undifferentiated multipotent cells which reside in
various human tissues and have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes …

We demonstrate that coating calcium sulfate with deacetylated chitosan enhances the
elution profile of daptomycin by prolonging the period during which high concentrations of …

In regenerative approaches, scaffolds play a crucial role in defining the 3-D anatomical
shape and microenvironment for regenerative cells, while maintaining space, favoring …

Chitosan has been widely researched for bone tissue and implant applications. While initial
results are promising, there are inconsistent reports regarding the biological responses. This …

Background: Chitosan compounds have been shown to be suitable bone replacement
materials. To evaluate the accelerating effects of chitosan on the bone regeneration process …

Chitosan has shown promise as a coating for dental/craniofacial and orthopaedic implants.
However, the effects of degree of deacetylation (DDA) of chitosan on coating bond strength …

Calcium sulfate is in routine clinical use as a bone substitute, offering the benefits of
biodegradability, biocompatibility and a long history of use in bone repair. The …

Critical‐sized bone defects are incapable of self‐healing and are commonly seen in clinical
practice. The authors explore a new treatment for this, decellularized periosteum is applied …
