What are the Advantages of Using PLGA in Cancer Therapy?
There are several advantages of using PLGA in cancer therapy:
Biodegradability: PLGA degrades into lactic acid and glycolic acid, which are naturally metabolized by the body, minimizing toxicity. Biocompatibility: PLGA is well-tolerated by the body, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Controlled Release: PLGA can be engineered to provide sustained release of therapeutic agents, enhancing drug efficacy and reducing dosing frequency. Targeted Delivery: PLGA nanoparticles can be functionalized with ligands to target specific cancer cells, improving the precision of treatment.
