Anticancer Activity of Chitosan, Chitosan Derivatives, and Their Mechanism of Action
International Journal of Biomaterials, 2018 Tailoring of chitosan through the involvement of its amino, acetamido, and hydroxy groups can give derivatives of enhanced solubility and remarkable anticancer activity. The general mechanism of such activity is associated with the disturbances in normal functioning of cell cycle, interference to the central dogma of biological system from DNA to RNA ...

Concepts for Developing Physical Gels of Chitosan and of Chitosan Derivatives [PDF]
Gels, 2018 Chitosan macro- and micro/nano-gels have gained increasing attention in recent years, especially in the biomedical field, given the well-documented low toxicity, degradability, and non-immunogenicity of this unique biopolymer. In this review we aim at recapitulating the recent gelling concepts for developing chitosan-based physical gels.
