Copper-Loaded Chitosan-Polyphosphate Scaffold – A Promising Innovation for Regenerative Endodontics
The regeneration of dental pulp and dentin is one of the most exciting research areas in modern dentistry. Especially in immature teeth with necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis, restoring tooth vitality remains a major challenge.
Microneedles Against Resistant Infections: Innovative Wound Healing with Chitosan and Nanozymes
Treating infected burn wounds - especially those involving antibiotic-resistant bacteria - remains a major challenge in modern medicine. A research team has now introduced a groundbreaking solution: a hydrogel-based microneedle system that combines so-called “high-entropy nanozymes” with chitosan.
This novel technology not only combats resistant pathogens but also actively promotes wound healing—with a special focus on chitosan’s role as a key material.
Chitosan as excipient against Heliobacter pylori
H. pylori infections in the stomach are difficult to combat due to the formation of antibiotic resistance, biofilms and intracellular infections. In the presented study, a hydrogel platform based on chitosan and palmitic acid will be used as an alternative to antibiotic-based therapy.
