Despite the enormous development of instruments for analyzing a wide variety of
compounds, applied in different fields such as health, environment or quality control, the …

Alternatives to efficient viral vectors in gene therapy are desired because of their poor safety
profiles. Chitosan is a promising non-viral nucleotide delivery vector because of its …

Chitosan was grafted with O-methyl-O′-succinylpolyethylene glycol and oleic acid after a
two-step carbodiimide coupling. The structural and physicochemical characterization of the …

Chitosan is a complex linear amino co-polymer which, depending on a great variety of
parameters, exhibits a more or less amphiphilic structure. This makes this polysaccharide …

Chitosan nanoparticles crosslinked with genipin were prepared by reverse microemulsion
that allowed to obtain highly monodisperse (3–20nm by TEM) nanogels. The incorporation …

Cartilage repair after a trauma or a degenerative disease like osteoarthritis (OA) continues to
be a big challenge in current medicine due to the limited self-regenerative capacity of the …

Physicochemical properties of four different homogeneous series of chitosans with degrees
of acetylation (DA) and weight-average degrees of polymerization (DPw) ranging from 0 to …

Chitosan-based particles are widely proposed as biocompatible drug delivery systems with
mucoadhesive and permeation enhancing properties. However, strategies on how to …

This review surveys the main methods of preparing chitosan and its hydrophobic derivatives
and their influence on the microstructure of polymers. The experimental data on the …

Combating melanoma via topical route is a highly challenging task due to low selectivity,
poor efficacy and impeding biological environment of the skin. In the present study, we …
