American start-up for chitosan wound care solutions PhD students in Maryland (University of Maryland and Robert H. Smith School of Business) found their own start-up to develop blood-clotting products. Already two products are in a development phase. A surgical spray and a sponge, both based on chitosan.

Tissue engineering is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of research focused on the development of vital autologous tissue through the use of a combination of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive molecules, for the purposes of repairing damaged or diseased tissue and organs. The future tissue engineering market potential has been estimated at 70 billion Euro. Due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability, together with its specific interactions with components of the extracellular matrix and growth factors, chitosan has emerged as exceptionally promising material for various tissue engineering applications, including skin, nerve, bone, and cartilage repair applications.
Have a look at published papers in march 2009.
Mai 23 the ninth International Conference of the European Chitin Society (EUCHIS) starts. Participants, who want to prepare the upcoming event, now can find the final program of the congress for download on the official homepage.
Are you sometimes overwhelmed by the number of new Chitosan publications? Only in 2008 more than 1000 new articles were released that cited chitosan. During our own literature research we came across a useful tool, we want to present you now.
In February chitosan research remains very active. After 83 articles in January 73 papers were published in the second month of the year 2009.
