In this study, researchers created nanowhiskers from crab shell-derived nanochitin that self-assembled into vibrant structural colors within a film. The material, sensitive to environmental changes, shows potential as a food freshness indicator and a sustainable dye for cosmetics due to chitin's biocompatibility.

This research found that four types of biocompatible nanochitin promoted hair growth in mice, with partially deacetylated and phosphoric acid hydrolyzed nanochitins showing the best results, while amphoteric nanochitin provided the most balanced overall effect.

In this study, cricket-derived chitin successfully converted to nanochitin, which demonstrated improved physical properties such as higher transmittance and greater modulus compared to crab shell nanochitin.

This study found that treating chitin from crab shells with ultrasonication at specific conditions effectively produced fine nanofibers with a high yield.

This review reports that chitosan-based systems with metal nanoparticles and polyphenols may enhance wound healing by improving the bioavailability and stability of these compounds, suggesting a potential new approach for chronic and diabetic wounds.
