GlossaryPLGA nanoparticles

biodegradable particles used for targeted drug delivery

PLGA nanoparticles, or poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles, are tiny particles made from a biodegradable polymer. They are often used in medicine to deliver drugs directly to specific parts of the body, improving the effectiveness and reducing side effects of treatments. These nanoparticles can be engineered to release their payload over a controlled period, making them valuable in various therapeutic applications, including cancer treatment and regenerative medicine.
