Fabrication and characterization of scaffolds containing different amounts of allantoin for skin tissue engineering

Abstract Using the skin tissue engineering approach is a way to help the body to recover its lost skin in cases that the spontaneous healing process is either impossible or inadequate, such as severe wounds or burns. In the present study, chitosan/gelatin-based scaffolds containing 0.25, 0.5, 0.75,...
