## Abstract Photoโcrosslinkable and biodegradable Pluronic/heparin composite hydrogels were fabricated for local and sustained delivery of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to induce angiogenesis. Terminally diโacrylated Pluronic F127 and vinyl group conjugated heparin were used as a mixed macr

## Abstract Heparinโimmobilized porous biodegradable scaffolds were fabricated to release basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in a sustained manner. Heparin was covalently conjugated onto the surface of macroporous PLGA scaffolds fabricated by a gasโfoaming/saltโleaching method. Sustained release
Immunostimulatory CpG DNA was self-assembled to form DNA hydrogels for use as a sustained delivery system for both intercalated doxorubicin (DXR) and immunostimulatory CpG motifs for cancer treatment. X-shaped DNA (X-DNA) was designed as a building unit, and underwent ligation to form DNA hydrogels.
The authors have developed a new method of drug delivery into the brain using implantable biodegradable microspheres. In this study, this method was used to provide localized and sustained delivery of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) after the surgical resection of glioblastoma. This antimetabolite and radiose
