Fetal Bovine Hide Collagen–Chitosan Composite Sponges: Preparation, Physicochemical Profiling, and Cutaneous Wound Healing Efficacy
The escalating production of fetal bovine serum generates substantial quantities of fetal bovine hide as an underutilized byproduct. In this study, we extracted collagen from this source, characterized it as predominantly type I collagen with intact triple-helical features, and fabricated a series of composite sponge d...
