Chitosan microcarriers in mammalian cell culture

Chitosan is a naturally-occuring biomaterial with many advantages, including being non-toxic, biocompatible and biodegradable. It has a wide range of applications due to its numerous properties, and thus finds uses in wound dressings, biopesticides, tissues engineering, and pharmaceuticals. Chitosan...
