About this document

Chitin and Chitosan Biomaterials Review is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes recent research on chemically modified forms of chitin and chitosan and their biomedical applications. It discusses sugar-modified chitosans which show promise for drug delivery and cell culture due to their ability to specifically recognize cells, viruses, and bacteria. Chitosan modified with sugars like fucose, lactose, and galactose have been studied. The document also briefly mentions chitosan modified with dendrimers, cyclodextrins, crown ethers, and their potential medical use
