2. 1. Poly(Lactide-co-Glycolide) in Controlled-Release Pharmaceuticals - Release Mechanisms

   Author : Susanne Fredenberg; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; PLGA; Poly lactide-co-glycolide ; Release mechanism; Diffusion; Controlled Release; Degradation; Protein;

   Abstract : Controlled-release formulations reduce the frequency of injections and better maintain plasma concentrations within the therapeutic window. Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) is currently the most frequently used biodegradable polymer for this application. READ MORE

   Abstract : Degradable polymers have gained an increased attention in the field of biomedical applications over the past decades, for example in tissue engineering. One way of improving the biocompatibility of these polymers is by chemical surface modification, however the risk of degradation during the modification procedure is a limiting factor. READ MORE
