Abstract
: The biopolymer chitosan, which is derived from chitin, has shown great promise for tissue regeneration and regulated drug delivery. Its broad-spectrum antibacterial action, low toxicity, biocompatibility, and many other attributes make it appealing for use in biomedical applications. Crucially, chitosan may be synthesized into a range of forms that can be customized to provide desired results, such as hydrogels, membranes, scaffolds, and nanoparticles. Hydrogels that are biocompatible and self-healing are innovative soft materials with considerable potential for use in biomedical applications. Hydrogels that self-heal using chitosan, which are mostly made by dynamic imine linkages, have gained a lot of interest because of their great biocompatibility, moderate preparation requirements, and capacity to mend themselves in a physiological setting. In this study, a summary of the applications of chitosan-based self-healing hydrogels in bone, cartilage, and tooth tissue regeneration and drug delivery is provided. Lastly, we have mentioned the difficulties and potential outcomes for the biomedical field's creation of hydrogels based on chitosan that can mend themselves.
期刊介绍:
Current Organic Synthesis publishes in-depth reviews, original research articles and letter/short communications on all areas of synthetic organic chemistry i.e. asymmetric synthesis, organometallic chemistry, novel synthetic approaches to complex organic molecules, carbohydrates, polymers, protein chemistry, DNA chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, molecular recognition and new synthetic methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The journal is essential reading to all synthetic organic chemists. Current Organic Synthesis should prove to be of great interest to synthetic chemists in academia and industry who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic synthesis.
