Loading antibiotics in a biodegradable polymer matrix is an excellent way to control its release kinetics, which eliminates side effects caused by conventional administrations of the drug. This approach is especially beneficial for bone regeneration when using a scaffold made of a biodegradable polymer loaded with drug agents capable of controllable releases. In this case, the scaffold serves as a mechanical support to tissue formation and the drug agents may provide biomolecules to assist the tissue formation and/or provide antibiotics to prevent tissues from infections. Towards this goal, we have developed an approach to make vancomycin-loaded poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres, from which... More
