Natural origin scaffolds with in situ pore forming capability for bone tissue engineering applications
This work describes the development of a biodegradable matrix, based on chitosan and starch, with the ability to form a porous structure in situ due to the attack by specific enzymes present in the human body (a-amylase and lysozyme). Scaffolds with three different compositions were developed: chito...
