343 articles about chitosan were published in February 2017. Main topics address chitosan in connection to nanoparticles, tissues and in evaluation studies. Top countries in chitosan research were China (57), India (29) and USA (21).

So far, there has always been a ‚language barrier’ between humans and machines. To send information and commands within the circuitry machines and gadgets use electrons. In contrast, living systems use protons and ions to send signals within their bodies or to activate actions such as muscle movement respectively.

In April the rate of publications with chitosan slightly dropped. 90 articles were published which means 7 less than in April 2010. In comparison to March 2011 38 fewer papers presented results in chitosan research.

The big challenge in the field of medical innovations is so tiny that it is not noticeable with the naked eye. Nanotechnology – a promising and trendsetting technology. For example, with the help of drug-delivery-systems drugs can be transported to an exactly defined part within the body.
Chitosan also produces nanoparticles.
