Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia have created a chitosan-nickel composite film that gains up to 50% more tensile strength when soaked in water, flipping the central ...

In a recent article published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the potential of chitosan-coated probiotic nanoparticles (CSP NPs) as a novel approach to counteract the adverse effects ...

Researchers at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo have developed a new inhalable form of tuberculosis (TB) treatment that could significantly reduce the ...

The first fully biodegradable and biocompatible piezoelectric chitosan nanoparticle uses ultrasound to trigger localized stress signals in glioblastoma cells, reducing proliferation and promoting ...

Polysaccharides, such as chitosan, exhibit poor mechanical and barrier characteristics in their current form. Consequently, compared to common plastic films, using materials based on biopolymers in ...

Researchers developed a self-healing hydrogel that restored neural function and improved symptoms in rats with Parkinson's-like disease. (Nanowerk News) Parkinson’s disease is a progressive brain ...
