Synthetic biomaterials as instructive extracellular microenvironments for morphogenesis in tissue engineering
TL;DR: Although modern synthetic biomaterials represent oversimplified mimics of natural ECMs lacking the essential natural temporal and spatial complexity, a growing symbiosis of materials engineering and cell biology may ultimately result in synthetic materials that contain the necessary signals to recapitulate developmental processes in tissue- and organ-specific differentiation and morphogenesis.

In vitro and in vivo degradation of films of chitin and its deacetylated derivatives
Kenji Tomihata,Yoshito Ikada +1 more
TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo degradations of these films occurred less rapidly without passing a maximum or minimum, as their degree of deacetylation became higher, since both chitin and chitosan are crystalline polymers.
