Elastic chitosan-gelatin cryogels of varying concentration of polymer precursors have been synthesized using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent. The optimum co-polymer ratio of chitosan to gelatin was found to be 1:4 at the temperature of Γ12 Β°C for synthesis of chitosan-gelatin hybrid cryogels.

## Abstract Chitosan scaffolds have gained much attention in tissue engineering. However, brittleness and low biodegradability limit scaffolds application, especially in use as guided tissue regeneration membranes (GTRm) in surgical operations. The first objective of this work is to improve the bri
## Abstract To further enhance the properties of existing collagen/chitosan scaffolds for liver tissue engineering, a very simple method was developed to form noncovalently linked mimic of the liver extracellular matrices. Collagen/chitosan mixtures in various proportions (i.e., 1:0, 3:2, 1:1, 2:3,
## Abstract A biodegradable composite scaffold was developed using Ξ²βtricalcium phosphate (Ξ²βTCP) with chitosan (CS) and gelatin (Gel) in the form of a hybrid polymer network (HPN) via coβcrosslinking with glutaraldehyde. Various types of scaffolds were prepared by freezing and lyophilizing. These
