Statistical approach of the physicalchemical investigation of chitosan/collagen biomatrix crosslinked with gradient of genipin for tissue engineering
Introduction: More than 60 million people in the United States have had an increase in their life expectancy in recent years because of artificial tissue and organ therapy, with every five people over 65 years old. In Brazil, this figure was higher. Thus, tissue engineering contemplates numerous advantages that meet the needs of the injured tissue or organ for the regeneration process. Objective: to investigate the physicochemical properties of chitosan/collagen cross linked with a gradient of genipin for tissue engineering.
