Chitosan microparticles as injectable scaffolds for tissue engineering applications

[Excerpt] Microparticles may be used as a support for the adhesion and proliferation of cells. Therefore, the combination of isolated particles and previously incubated cells on their surface may have potential to be used, in the form of a suspension with media, as an injectable scaffold in the context of tissue regeneration: on expects that the particles might agglomerate after the implantation as a consequence of cells proliferation and extracellular matrix production.
