Microfluidic fabrication of polymeric core-shell microspheres for controlled release applications.
We report a facile and robust microfluidic method to fabricate polymeric core-shell microspheres as delivery vehicles for biomedical applications. The characteristics of core-shell microspheres can be precisely and easily tuned by manipulating the microfluidic double emulsion templates. The addition of a shell can significantly improve the versatility as well as functionality of these microsphe...
متن کاملElectrohydrodynamic fabrication of core–shell PLGA nanoparticles with controlled release of cisplatin for enhanced cancer treatment
Increasing the clinical efficacy of toxic chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin (CDDP), via targeted drug delivery, is a key area of research in cancer treatment. In this study, CDDP-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) were successfully prepared using electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA). The configuration was varied to control the distribution of CDDP wit...
متن کاملPolymeric Microspheres for Medical Applications
Synthetic polymeric microspheres find application in a wide range of medical applications. Among other applications, microspheres are being used as bulking agents, embolicor drug-delivery particles. The exact composition of the spheres varies with the application and therefore a large array of materials has been used to produce microspheres. In this review, the relation between microsphere synt...
متن کاملLocal controlled release of simvastatin and PDGF from core/shell microspheres promotes bone regeneration in vivo
Simvastatin is demonstrated to be a potent stimulator for bone formation. However, a high dosage of simvastatin is required to induce bone regeneration in systematic administration, which may result in various side effects. Here we achieved the local administration of simvastatin through fabricating core/shell microspheres. Meanwhile, the addition of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) encaps...
متن کاملControlled-release and preserved bioactivity of proteins from (self-assembled) core-shell double-walled microspheres
In order to address preserved protein bioactivities and protein sustained-release problems, a method for preparing double-walled microspheres with a core (protein-loaded nanoparticles with a polymer-suspended granule system-formed core) and a second shell (a polymer-formed shell) for controlled drug release and preserved protein bioactivities has been developed using (solid-in-oil phase-in-hydr...
