Chitosan-Based Porous Materials Biocompatible with Fibroblasts

Article Preview

Abstract:

A novel method to obtain porous three-dimensional chitosan-based matrices has been developed. The structure is characterized by an interconnected system of pores, with controlled diameter by varying the concentration of chitosan and the nature of the solvent. The material is biodegradable, biocompatible, with high adhesion to fibroblasts and promotes its proliferation.
