By considering the high biocompatibility and well-known regenerative potential of polylactic acid (PLA) and chitosan (CH), as well as the versatile antibacterial effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) ...

Louisiana produces 850 million pounds of seafood each year, according to the Louisiana Seafood Promotion & Marketing Board.

Chitosan, sourced from chitin, offers features like antimicrobial properties, enhanced adhesion, and pH sensitivity, making it highly valuable for designing drug delivery systems and products for ...

The injectable nature of this hydrogel allows for minimally invasive administration, making it a patient-friendly alternative ...

In our lab, BioANSR, we’ve explored plasma nanosynthesis to engineer nanostructured surfaces on chitosan, optimizing them for antibacterial efficacy and cell alignment. This ability to create ...

Reducing inflammation at the wound site. Acting as a natural antimicrobial to prevent infections. Accelerating the formation of new tissue for faster recovery. Chitosan is widely used in medical-grade ...

In this work, chitosan and collagen-chitosan porous scaffolds were produced by the freeze drying method and characterized as potential skin substitutes. Their beneficial effects on soft tissues ...
