Chitosan is a widely used...

... for rapidly regenerating teeth-like structures rapidly. The efficacy of application of an electric field combined with nano-chitosan gel, casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate gel and their mixture was investigated as a remineralizing accelerator for artificially demineralized teeth. Teeth samples...

.... Scaffolds comprising carboxymethyl chitosan/gelatin/nano-hydroxyapatite were formed through cryogelation. The effects of three parameters – namely, cross-linker concentration, mineral content and gelatin-to-polymer ratio – on physical, chemical and mechanical properties were investigated. In this work, MG63...

...Jing Zhao, PhD; Xiaoran Wang, MSc; Xingyue Deng, MSc; Kaiwen Liu, BSc Nanoparticles encapsulating different kinds of therapeutic drugs are promising drug delivery systems for controlling release and targeting tumor cells. Chitosan nanoparticles made by polyelectrolyte complexation were designed...

... the biocomposites of starch nanoparticles (SNPs) and chitosan. Chitosan was prepared in concentrations of 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 wt%. The SNPs and film properties were investigated. The functional group of SNPs and chitosan as the edible film was evaluated. Then, the morphological structure, mechanical properties...

...Rania Ahmed Hanafy, PhD; Dawlat Mostafa, PhD; Ahmed Abd El-Fattah, PhD; Sherif Kandil, PhD In this study, chitosan was employed as a novel biomimetic mineralization model to repair damaged enamel to compare its performance with that of bioinspired zinc-doped nanohydroxyapatite. Fifty human premolar...

...Ali Tozar, PhD; İsmail Hakkı Karahan, PhD In this study, the biomimetic approach described as reverse engineering by trying to copy the excellent concepts of nature and taking nature as a model has been used. In order to mimic the structure of natural bone, hydroxyapatite (HA), chitosan (CTS...

... and long-acting carrier to improve the delivery of Lig, combining the benefits of chitosan (CS) and lysine (l-Lys) to obtain CS/l-Lys as a drug delivery system for carrying Lig, which could improve the delivery of Lig and increase the drug-loading capacity efficiently. The physicochemical...

... and removed from the body after they have served their function. A wide range of novel biomaterials from natural polymers has been investigated to meet new challenges in medical science. Chitosan is one of the natural polymers which have been widely used in the biomedical field. Nanotechnology is one...

...Xiaohui Zhang, BSc; Haifang Liu, MSc; Jinmin Qin, MSc; Xueqiong Yin, PhD; Ju Lv, BSc; Li Zhu, MSc In this study, chitosan (CTS) dissolved in acetic acid was electrospun together with aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) solution (PVA) to prepare membranes (CTS/PVA) with nanofibers. The morphology...

... prepared in conjunction with vitamin E d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TGPS) and chitosan, which imparted the desired surface morphology and particle size. The particle sizes, the surface morphology and the phase composition were correlated with the loaded amount...

...Maryam Rahmati, MSc; Ali Samadikuchaksaraei, PhD; Masoud Mozafari, PhD The purpose of the present study was to provide insights into the interactive effects of β-glycerophosphate (β-GP) molecules on thermosensitive chitosan-based hydrogels, which experience sol–gel transformation...

... for bone tissue engineering. Therefore, to build a performance scaffold for bone defect from osteoporosis is the target of this research. Samples of silk fibroin and chitosan were fabricated into porous scaffolds before modification by coating with collagen self-assembly. The structure and morphology...
