Interest in utilizing biodegradable polymers for biomedical applications has grown since the 1960s.
Qingxing Xu et al.
Biomaterials, 34(15), 3902-3911 (2013-03-05)
The drug release and degradation behavior of two double-walled microsphere formulations consisting of a doxorubicin-loaded poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) core (∼46 kDa) surrounded by a poly(d,l-lactic acid) (PDLLA) shell layer (∼55 and 116 kDa) were examined. It was postulated that different molecular weights

The accurate interpretation of histological outcomes is a critical endpoint in preclinical studies. Thus, the toxicologic pathologist plays a vital role in conducting a comprehensive microscopic evaluation that would ultimately help defining the safety and functionality in Tissue Engineering/Regenerative Medicinal
