Reviews and articles with chitosan in 2024
After already high numbers in 2023, 4025 articles dealing with chitosan were published in 2024. That is 616 more than in the previous year. This development shows that chitosan, as a versatile biopolymer, is attracting more and more attention from researchers worldwide. Of the 4025 search results on PubMed, 247 were reviews. Thematically, the reviews dealt with the diverse application possibilities of chitosan.
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.
Cisplatin Chitosan microparticles to prevent recurrent breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. In order to prevent the occurrence of metastases and the recurrence of tumors, a hydrogel breast implant loaded with cisplatin chitosan microparticles is to be produced in the presented study.
Chitosan and curcumin for treatment of glaucoma or cancer
Glaucoma is a group of diseases of the eye with damaged optic nerve and retina in advanced stages, possibly leading to blindness. One of the causes is increased intraocular pressure. Here, we present two publications, which investigated the combination of chitosan and curcumin for treatment of glaucoma and cancer patients.
Houston, we have no problem – Chitosan-based bulletproof coatings - research at Houston universitiy
Natural polysaccharides such as chitin and chitosan are excellent sources for new materials with exceptional properties. Here we present innovative applications of the biopolymer derived from crustaceans or mushrooms in bulletproof coatings and smart windows.
Supporting the regeneration of nerve cells with chitosan
Worldwide, about 2.5 million people live with the consequences of a traumatic spinal cord injury. At the injured site formation of glia scar tissue prevents the regeneration of nerve cells. To date, complete functional recovery of the spinal cord is impossible, also because the cascade of events that takes place at the injured site is not fully understood yet.
