Chitosan and Chitosan Derivatives in Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering

Chitosan is a nontoxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible polysaccharide of b(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. This derivative of natural chitin presents remarkable properties that have paved the way for the introduction of chitosan in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields. Nevertheless, the properties of chitosan, such as its poor solubility in water or in organic solven...
