What are the Applications of PLGA in Nanomedicine?
PLGA nanoparticles have a wide range of applications in nanomedicine, including:
Cancer Therapy: PLGA nanoparticles can be used to deliver chemotherapeutic drugs directly to tumor cells, reducing systemic toxicity and enhancing therapeutic efficacy. Vaccines: PLGA-based nanoparticles can be used to deliver antigens and adjuvants, enhancing the immune response and providing sustained release. Gene Therapy: PLGA nanoparticles can encapsulate genetic material such as DNA or RNA, protecting it from degradation and facilitating cellular uptake. Tissue Engineering: PLGA scaffolds can be used to support cell growth and tissue regeneration, providing a biodegradable matrix that degrades as new tissue forms.
