Chitosan the second most abundant next to cellulose, naturally occurring amino
polysaccharide, derived as a deacetylated form of chitin. Its nontoxic, biocompatible …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is similar to natural bone regarding composition, and its structure favors
in biomedical applications. Continuous research and progress on HA nanomaterials (HA …

Critical-sized bone defects treated with biomaterials offer an efficient alternative to traditional
methods involving surgical reconstruction, allografts, and metal implants. Chitosan, a natural …

Bone defects cause significant socio-economic costs worldwide, while the clinical “gold
standard” of bone repair, the autologous bone graft, has limitations including limited graft …

Abstract Chitin (CT), the well-known natural biopolymer and chitosan (CS)(bio-based or
“artificial polymer”) are non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible in nature. The …

A systematic analysis of results available from in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials on the effects
of biocompatible calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings is presented. An overview of the most …

The development of functional materials for osteoporosis is ultimately required for bone
remodeling. However, grafts were accompanied by increasing pro-inflammatory cytokines …

Chitin, the second most important natural polymer in the world, and its N-deacetylated
derivative chitosan, have been identified as versatile biopolymers for a broad range of …

Bone tissue engineering involves biomaterials, cells and regulatory factors to make
biosynthetic bone grafts with efficient mineralization for regeneration of fractured or …

Chitin is the second most important natural polymer in the world. The main sources exploited
are two marine crustaceans, shrimp and crabs. Our objective is to appraise the state of the …
