Patients with advanced cancer often face a difficult journey with limited treatment options. Standard therapies—like ...

To make the particles, molybdenum disulfide and the chemotherapeutic are mixed with a polymer called polycaprolactone and then dried into a film that can be pressed into microparticles of ...

The research group discovered a polymer film, formed by polymer chains-based microparticles that are several tens to several hundreds of nanometers in size, that is tough and highly degradable (Fig. 1 ...

Many of the biomaterials are designed to be shear-thinning and self-healing through the incorporation of dynamic and reversible interactions of polymers or microparticles. Biomaterials from the group ...

The injection site showed a higher distribution of smaller microparticles, resulting in depot release. The polymer coating’s thickness was significantly lower compared to the 25% polymer microspheres.

The polymer's slow hydrolysis facilitates the sustained release of the immunogen, stabilizing the antigen encapsulated within the microspheres. As a ...
