Meniscal tears are a frequent orthopedic injury commonly managed by conservative
strategies to avoid osteoarthritis development descending from altered biomechanics …

Abstract Poly (propylene fumarate)(PPF) is a biodegradable polymer that has been
investigated extensively over the last three decades. It has led many scientists to synthesize …

Affinity-based release systems use transient interactions to sustain and control the release of
a therapeutic from a polymeric matrix. The most common affinity-based systems use heparin …

Introduction: Biodegradable polymers have been used for more than three decades in
cancer treatment and have received increased interest in recent years. A range of …

Polymers are a chain of repeating monomers that can be either non-biodegradable or
biodegradable with technical properties for a wide range of applications. The present …

Rationale: The tireless research for effective drug delivery approaches is prompted by poor
target tissue penetration and limited selectivity against diseased cells. To overcome these …

Historically it is known that presentation of vaccine antigens in particulate form, for a wide
range of pathogens, has clear advantages over the presentation of soluble antigen alone …

Polyesters derived from the α-hydroxy acids, lactic acid, and glycolic acid, are the most
common biodegradable polymers in clinical use. These polymers have been tailored for a …

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a generic model, we investigated heat
propagation in bottle–brush polymers (BBP). An architecture is referred to as a BBP when a …
