Chitosan-Based Nanoformulation as Carriers of Small Molecules for Tissue Regeneration

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Functional Chitosan

Abstract

This chapter traces the growth of nanoformulations and the role of biopolymers in the field of medicine and nanomedicine in particular. Keeping in mind the vast literature available in this field, the chapter provides the reader an insight into the developments relating to use of one of the biopolymers, viz., chitosan. While highlighting the developments, extensive care is taken to provide an overall understanding of the subject while providing the literature support for detailed analysis. The chapter highlights the significance and facile maneuverability of chitosan to yield hydrogels and polyplexes that are ideally suited for tissue engineering applications. The chapter closes with the introduction to 3D printing technologies which are likely to take over the tissue regeneration field in a massive way.
