Meet HMC at the Bioeconomy Innovation Day in Brussels on November 16, 2023. The deadline for the event has been extended to November 13. Register now! We look forward to talking with you about chitosan innovations to enable a sustainable Europe.
Cancer is difficult to treat due to its early immune invasion and metastasis. In the study presented here, the frequently used chemotherapeutic drugs 5-flourouracil and cisplatin are encapsulated in TPP cross-linked chitosan nanoparticles and their in vitro anti-cancer effect is investigated.
Our CEO Katja Richter is on the road! She will be giving a presentation on "Chitosan from various sources as pharmaceutical excipient - regulatory aspects" at this year's Asia-Pacific Chitin and Chitosan Symposium. More informations at https://apccs2023.org/.
Bone tissue regeneration using artificial scaffolds on which bone cells, such as osteoblasts, can grow is a relatively new approach to repair bone fractures or bone decomposition due to disease. In the work presented, a simple method is introduced to make aerogels from chitosan. These could be suitable as scaffolds for bone cells.

HMC was attending EUCHIS 2023 in Siglufjörður in northern Iceland from September 11-14. If you couldn't meet us there, read our highlights from the conference here or visit us at EPNOE in Graz until September 22.
Wearable electrodes, which are used to measure a variety of bodily functions, generate electronic waste and, in the case of implants, require extensive removal. The presented study introduces a fully decomposable material mixture with chitosan that can withstand exercise and sweat even under high physical stress.
