Abstract

One of the most well-known instances of an interdisciplinary subject is tissue engineering, where experts from many backgrounds collaborate to address important health issues and improve people's quality of life. Many researchers are interested in using chitosan and its derivatives as an alternative to fabricating scaffold engineering and skin grafts in tissue because of its natural abundance, affordability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and wound healing properties. Nanomaterials based on peptides can provide cells with the essential biological cues required to promote cellular adhesion and are easily fabricated. Due to such worthy properties of chitosan and peptide, they find their application in tissue engineering and regeneration processes. The implementation of hybrids of chitosan and peptide is increasing in the field of tissue engineering and scaffolding for improved cellular adherence and bioactivity. This review covers the individual applications of peptide and chitosan in tissue engineering and further discusses the role of their conjugates in the same. Here, the recent findings are also discussed, along with studies involving the use of these hybrids in tissue engineering applications.
