• Insights into the Mode of Action of Chitosan as an Antibacterial Compound (2008, background): “In spite of its abundance in nature, the commercial utilization of chitosan has been developed only over the last 2 decades; it has emerged as a new biomaterial for food (36), pharmaceutical (20, 41), medical (44, 53), textile (42), agricultural (12), and other industries, as well as for wastewater ”
• Natural-origin polymers as carriers and scaffolds for biomolecules and cell delivery in tissue engineering applications. (2007, background): “In addition, chitosan was found to enhance blood coagulation [136] accelerating wound healing [137,138], thus it can act as an ideal wound dressing as it exhibits a positive charge, film-forming capacity, mild gelation characteristics and a strong tissueadhesive property.”
