Wound care, tissue-engineered product development

In a very creative fashion, Hu and Catchmark [140] developed bioabsorbable cellulose nanocomposites by integration of cellulases into BC membranes (Figure 2.17). Considering the harmless effect of the main product of the enzymatic degradation of cellulose, glucose, these composites may be perfect for specific wound care and tissue engineering applications where the bioabsorbable character is crucial.
