“…Various labs, including ours [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 ], have shown that chitosan is capable of encapsulating various types of therapeutic agents such as small molecule drugs to exploratory biologicals such as proteins and even DNA in delivery platforms of various sizes. As chitosan can even be ingested with no complications, this fact further cements the usefulness of this biopolymer in drug delivery R&D. Chitosan NPs have been formulated in the past using various methods, not limited to complex coacervation [ 64 ] and ionotropic gelation [ 65 ], both simple enough to carry out in most labs.…”
