In Vitro Degradation of Borosilicate Bioactive Glass and Poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) Composite Scaffolds
Composite scaffolds were obtained by mixing various amounts (10, 30 and 50 weight % [wt %]) of borosilicate bioactive glass and poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) copolymer. The composites were foamed using supercritical CO₂. An increase in the glass content led to a decrease in the pore size and density. In vitro dissolution/reaction test was performed in simulated body fluid. As a funct...
متن کاملEffects of lactide monomer on the hydrolytic degradation of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) 85L/15G.
The hydrolytic degradation of oriented poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) 85 L/15 G (PLGA 85/15) sample materials with various amounts of lactide monomer was monitored in vitro at 37 °C. The materials were manufactured from medical grade PLGA 85/15 by a two-step melt extrusion-die drawing process. Results showed that the hydrolytic degradation rate depended highly on the lactide monomer content, whic...
متن کاملNovel docetaxel-loaded nanoparticles based on poly(lactide-co-caprolactone) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide-co-caprolactone) for prostate cancer treatment: formulation, characterization, and cytotoxicity studies
Docetaxel (Dtx) chemotherapy is the optional treatment in patients with hormone-refractory metastatic prostate cancer, and Dtx-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) have the potential to induce durable clinical responses. However, alternative formulations are needed to overcome the serious side effects, also due to the adjuvant used, and to improve the clinical efficacy of the drug.In the presen...
متن کاملHollow fibers of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) and poly(ε-caprolactone) blends for vascular tissue engineering applications.
At present the manufacture of small-diameter blood vessels is one of the main challenges in the field of vascular tissue engineering. Currently available vascular grafts rapidly fail due to development of intimal hyperplasia and thrombus formation. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) hollow fiber (HF) membranes have previously been proposed for this application, but as we show in the present w...
متن کاملIn vitro degradation of a novel poly(lactide-co-glycolide) 75/25 foam.
Macroporous poly(lactide-co-glycolide) PLGA 75/25 foams were prepared for application in bone tissue engineering. Their in vitro degradation behaviour was followed over a 30 week period at 37 degrees C and at one of three pHs: (1) pH 5.0, which mimics the acidic environment produced by activated macrophages, (2) pH 7.4, which reproduces normal physiological conditions and (3) an intermediate pH...
