Chitin, Chitosan, and Its Derivatives for Wound Healing: Old and New Materials

Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2015
Chitin (β-(1-4)-poly-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) is widely distributed in nature and is the second most abundant polysaccharide after cellulose. It is often converted to its more deacetylated derivative, chitosan.
