Mechanisms of Isoniazid Release from Poly(d,I-lactide-co-glycolide) Matrices Prepared by Dry-Mixing and Low Density Polymeric Foam Methods

TL;DR: The release mechanisms of a small molecular drug from biodegradable poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) cylindrical matrices were investigated and Isoniazid (INH), one of the most effective drugs against tuberculosis (TB), was selected as the model drug.

pH-sensitive fluorescent hepatocyte-targeting multilayer polyelectrolyte hollow microspheres as a smart drug delivery system.

TL;DR: MTT assays revealed that doxorubicin (a water-insoluble anticancer drug)-loaded (CSFITC/HA)4/GC hollow microspheres can specifically target hepatocytes and exhibit favorable cytocompatibility.
