Electrostatic Self-Assembled Chitosan-Pectin Nano- and Microparticles for Insulin Delivery

Electrostatic Self-Assembled Chitosan-Pectin Nano- and Microparticles for Insulin Delivery

A polyelectrolyte complex system of chitosan-pectin nano- and microparticles was developed to encapsulate the hormone insulin. The aim of this work was to obtain small particles for oral insulin delivery without chemical crosslinkers based on natural and biodegradable polysaccharides. The nano- and...
