Publicado em "Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine", vol. 7, supp. 1 (2013) ; In the last decades, marine organisms have been the focus of considerable attention as potential source of valuable materials. Some important examples are β-chitin isolated from the endoskeleton of squids and hydroxyapatite (HA) produced from fish-bones. β-chitin is a structural polysaccharide more reactive than th...
Despite the increasing attention that marine organisms are receiving, many of those are not efficiently exploited and subproducts with valuable compounds are being discarded. Two examples of those subproducts are the endoskeleton of squid, from which β-‐chitin and consecutively chitosan can be obtained; and fish-‐bones, as a source for the production of nano-‐ hydroxyapatite. In this work, inspired in the na...
