This study was designed to investigate the in vitro degradation of thin poly(DL-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) films for applications in retinal pigment epithelium transplantation and guided tissue regeneration. PLGA films of copolymer ratios of 75:25 and 50:50 were manufactured with thickness leve

## Abstract Regeneration of peripheral nerves after injury is suboptimal. We now report the long term delivery of nerve growth factor (NGF) by biodegradable polyβlacticβ__co__βglycolic acid (PLGA) microspheres __in vitro__ and __in vivo__. Lactic to glycolic acid ratios of 50:50 and 85:15 were fabr
## Abstract Guided tissue regeneration (GTR), in periodontal therapy, involves the placement of a barrier membrane, to ensure the detached root surface becomes repopulated with periodontal ligament cells capable of regenerating this attachment. GTR procedures exhibit large variability in surgical o
Triggered release of liposomal contents following tumor accumulation and mild local heating is pursued as a means of improving the therapeutic index of chemotherapeutic drugs. Lysolipid-containing thermosensitive liposomes (LTSLs) are composed of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), the lysolipid
## Abstract Poly(D,Lβlacticβ__co__βglycolic acid) (PLGA) is a biodegradable polymer that is widely used for drug delivery. However, the degradation of PLGA alters the local microenvironment and may influence tissue structure and/or function. Here, we studied whether PLGA degradation affects the str
