“…Regarding nanotechnology-related drug delivery applications, chitin and its derivatives have attracted remarkable attention from the scientific community. Thus, considering the challenges of current therapies (in terms of drug resistance and systemic or topic side effects) and the processing versatility of chitin-derived compounds, various research studies have reported successful data regarding chitin-based nanostructures for controlled and/or targeted delivery of antibiotics [40,41,42], antivirals [43], antifungals [44,45,46], anti-inflammatory [47,48] and anti-tumor substances [38,43,49,50].…”
