TL;DR: The current review of 129 references describes the biological activity of several chitosan derivatives and the modes of action that have been postulated in the literature.
2,615 citations
TL;DR: The experiments demonstrate that it is possible to tailor subtle mechanical properties into a matrix by controlling fiber orientation, and suggest that electrospun collagen may represent a nearly ideal tissue engineering scaffold.
2,164 citations
TL;DR: There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high-performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers, which occur as whisker-like microfibrils that are biosynthesized and deposited in a continuous fashion.
2,114 citations
TL;DR: Never-Dried and once-dried hardwood celluloses were oxidized by a 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl radical (TEMPO)-mediated system, and highly crystalline and individualized cellulose nanofibers, dispersed in water, were prepared by mechanical treatment of the oxidized celluloses/water slurries.
2,017 citations
TL;DR: Mild enzymatic hydrolysis has been introduced and combined with mechanical shearing and a high-pressure homogenization, leading to a controlled fibrillation down to nanoscale and a network of long and highly entangled cellulose I elements.
