Preface
Polymers, the spectacular world of macromolecules have delivered their services to our society in various fields of life. In most cases, biopolymers are vulnerable and their identity to specific functions, especially for medicinal applications are very important. Owing to their biocompatible, nontoxic, and biodegradable nature, biopolymers (rather to say biomaterials in a broad sense) give a better option to be used in advancement of the biomedical field. Regenerative medicine is an area where tissue engineering, stem cell research, gene therapy, and therapeutic cloning are the collective work toward rebuilding or replacement of missing or injured body parts. Regenerative medicine is a blessing for our society where around 10 % of the entire world’s populations suffering from a disability. Biomaterials, especially chitin and chitosan match up all the characteristics required in the field of regenerative medicine. The present two volumes entitled “Chitin and Chitosan for Regenerative Medicine: Part I—Focus on Tissue Engineering and Part II—Focus on Therapeutics, F
