Cornell researchers have developed a new way to safely heat up specific areas inside the body by using biodegradable polymers ...

The biodegradable polymer Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely regarded as safe ... used to collect the remaining particles as a pellet. This simple, one-step process was initially ...

Upon administration of drug-loaded PLGA microspheres, the PLGA polymer undergoes in vivo degradation through hydrolysis of the ester backbone into non-toxic byproducts. As the PLGA degrades ...

Background and Aims: Osteotropic drug-delivery systems have been proposed as a means to provide drugs with affinity to bone tissues. Drugs or proteins have been linked chemically to bone-seeking ...

The scope of applications for biodegradable and biocompatible polymers – PLA and PLGA, is wide, from food packaging to farming materials to biomedical devices like stents, drug release systems, and ...

The biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, PLA and PLGA are used in many different applications including, amongst others, food packaging, farming materials, biomedical devices such as absorbable ...
