Chitosan, derivatives tissue engineering

Chitosan has found many biomedical applications, including tissue engineering approaches. Enzymes such as chitosanase and lysozyme can degrade chitosan. However, chitosan is easily soluble in the presence of acid, and generally insoluble in neutral conditions as well as in most organic solvents due to the existence of amino groups and the high crystallinity. Therefore, many derivatives have been reported to enhance the solubility and processability of this polymer. [Pg.145]

This paper will focus on chitosan and chitosan derivatives developed for biomedical applications. In the first section, the remarkable properties of chitosan will be exposed. The main chemical modifications used to adapt this material for biomedical applications will be reviewed. Their applications in drag delivery systems and tissue engineering will then be discussed. [Pg.20]

Chitosan membranes have been proposed as an artificial kidney membrane because of their suitable permeability and high tensile strength. Chitosan and its same derivatives are used to prepare scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. It can also be used for designing artificial skin, treatment of brain-scalp damage, and in plastic skin surgery. Chitosan has replaced the synthetic polymers in ophthalmo-logical applications due to its characteristic properties such... [Pg.15]

Mostly due to its highly water-soluble nature and lack of mechanical stability, CS has been modified with or used along with other polymers for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Porous sponge of CS-chitosan was used for the delivery of platelet-derived growth factor... [Pg.73]

Chitin and its derivatives have a number of applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering. While being an abundantly available polymer, chitosan is also biodegradable... [Pg.77]
