Abstract:Modern research has evolved several approaches toward skin regeneration and one of the novel concerns is the use of polymer-based systems due to their excellent beneficial properties to the skin. Several polymers, such as cellulose, hyaluronan, alginate, chitosan, collagen, fibrin and fibroin, have been tested and have proven the benefits for skin regeneration, and most of them are derived from either polysaccharide- or protein-based materials. In order to understand the mode of action, several researchers inv… Show more
