Abstract:The skin of Nile tilopia has gained attention in biomaterials science because of its low cost, abundance, and ability to recover from waste products of the fish industry. Nile tilapia skin can yield around 40% dry weight of type I highly biocompatible collagen. Nile tilopia collagen is used successfully for wound healing and hemostatic dressing. Collagen membranes and collagen-hydroxyapatite scaffolds derived from Nile tilapia skin are effectively employed for guided tissue regeneration. Future research is cru… Show more
