TLDR
In this article, the effect of polysaccharides (agar, gum tragacanth, and guar gum) on the properties of the core (organogel)-shell [poly(vinyl alcohol)] microparticles was discussed.Abstract:
This study discusses about the effect of polysaccharides (agar, gum tragacanth, and guar gum) on the properties of the core (organogel)–shell [poly(vinyl alcohol)] microparticles. The size, swelling, and mucoadhesive properties of the poly(vinyl alcohol) microparticles were altered in the presence of the polysaccharides. Thermal analysis confirmed the presence of organogels within the microparticles. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of the polysaccharides within the microparticles. The microparticles were biocompatible in nature. Drug release indicated that an alteration in the shell composition can be used for altering drug release. Ciprofloxacin-loaded microparticles showed sufficient antimicrobial efficiency.read more

Controlled Delivery Systems for Proteins Based on Poly(Lactic/Glycolic Acid) Microspheres
TL;DR: Stability studies showed that the encapsulation of an enzyme inside PLGA microspheres can protect them from activity loss, and in vitro release studies revealed that different release profiles and release rates can be achieved by simply modifying factors in the preparation procedure.
