Chitosan as excipient against Heliobacter pylori

H. pylori infections in the stomach are difficult to combat due to the formation of antibiotic resistance, biofilms and intracellular infections. In the presented study, a hydrogel platform based on chitosan and palmitic acid will be used as an alternative to antibiotic-based therapy.

Electrospinning of chitosan nanofibers for wound treatment

Chitosan nanofibers can be used in many different ways. In the publication presented here, electrospinning is used to produce chitosan nanofibers to improve wound healing.

Be careful and don't accidentally compare apples with oranges

Again, and again we come across publications in which chitosans are compared with each other. For example, we recently came across a paper comparing chitosan from crustaceans with that from fungi in bone tissue engineering applications (Iqbal et al. 2024). But to what extent was it actually valid?

Chitosan lactate in whole wheat bread?

The whole wheat bread has many health-promoting properties compared to white bread, but often has a harder crust, less volume and a denser texture. In the study presented here, the properties of whole wheat bread are to be improved by chitosan lactate.

Microfluidics for the production of chitosan-TPP nanoparticles

Microfluidics can precisely control the physiochemical properties of nanoparticles by mixing to the nanoliter. For this reason, nanoparticles for the transport of peptide drugs are to be developed in the study presented here with the help of chitosan from Heppe Medical Chitosan GmbH.
