Although chitin is of the most available biopolymers on Earth its uses and applications are
limited due to its low solubility. The deacetylation of chitin leads to chitosan. This biopolymer …

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

Collagen is the most widely distributed class of proteins in the human body. The use of
collagen-based biomaterials in the field of tissue engineering applications has been …

The wide array of tissue engineering applications exacerbates the need for biodegradable
materials with broad potential. Chitosan, the partially deacetylated derivative of chitin, may …

Chitin is a polysaccharide composed from N-acetyl-d-glucosamine units. It is the second
most abundant biopolymer on Earth and found mainly in invertebrates, insects, marine …

For patients with extensive burns, wound coverage with an autologous in vitro reconstructed
skin made of both dermis and epidermis should be the best alternative to split‐thickness …

A biodegradable polymer scaffold was developed using collagen and chitosan, in the form
of interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN), for in vitro culture of human epidermoid …

Publisher Summary Chitin is widely distributed in nature, constituting an important
renewable resource. The main sources of chitin generally used are the crustacean wastes of …

Conventional materials technology has yielded clear improvements in regenerative
medicine. Ideally, however, a replacement material should mimic the living tissue …

Collagen type I is the most abundant matrix protein in the human body and is highly
demanded in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and pharmaceutical applications …
