From Materials to Efficacy: How Chitosan-PCL Micelles Unlock Regenerative Medicine
With the rapid development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, one of the greatest challenges in research and clinical practice lies in the efficient delivery of bioactive substances to promote tissue repair. Traditional drug and growth factor injections often face short half-lives, rapid diffusion, and poor targeting, making it difficult to achieve precise and sustained therapeutic effects.
Chitosan-PCL micelles, with their excellent biocompatibility and intelligent responsive properties, provide an innovative drug delivery carrier for tissue regeneration. They have the potential to significantly enhance therapeutic efficiency and patient recovery outcomes.
Against this backdrop, Taskcm offers strong capabilities in micelle preparation and customization, meeting diverse demands for high-quality micelle carriers and accelerating progress in various tissue engineering projects.
