Bacterial nanocellulose applications for tissue engineering

Nanocellulose is one of the most promising natural polymers to substitute conventional polymers currently employed for tissue engineering applications. The three different types of nanocellulose (cellulose nanocrystals, cellulose nanofibrils, and bacterial cellulose) are presented in this chapter. H...
