POLYESTER BASED NANOSPONGES AS A DELIVERY PLATFORM FOR DIVERSE THERAPEUTICS TO ADVANCE THE TREATMENT OF A BROAD RANGE OF DISEASES

While traditional polyesters, such as poly(lactic acid) and poly(glycolic acid), have long been of interest for the development of nanoparticles as effective drug delivery devices, they are restricted in their utility due to several major drawbacks. To circumvent these limitations, a practical appro...
