Evaluation of the effects of glucosamine sulfate on poly(3- hydroxybutyrate) -chitosan/carbon nanotubes electrospun scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering applications
Negin Sadat Golshayan,S Karbasi,Elahe Masaeli,Elahe Bahremandi-Toloue,Mohammad Hossein Nasr-Esfahani,Mohammad Rafienia +5 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the addition GAS has a positive effect on the hydrophilicity of the fibers and the initiation of chondrogenic differentiation, which means that PHB-CS/f-MWCNTs scaffold containing G AS has more acceptable properties than the PHB or PHb-CS for cartilage tissue engineering.

Antibacterial activity of chitosans and chitosan oligomers with different molecular weights.
TL;DR: Antibacterial activities of chitosan was inversely affected by pH (pH 4.5-5.9 range tested), with higher activity at lower pH value, and bactericidal effects with gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria in the presence of 0.1% chitOSan.
