Theses & Dissertations
Water-soluble polymers are one of the most commonly used drug delivery vehicles for musculoskeletal diseases. During the past few decades, various biocompatible polymers have been employed in the development of thermoresponsive hydrogels as drug delivery systems for the treatment of local musculoskeletal pathologies. As part of our laboratory’s contribution to this field of study, I have successfully developed three thermoresponsive hydrogel-based formulations for the treatment of three different pathologies associated with the musculoskeletal system.
As my initial effort, I have developed a bone-targeting injectable hydrogel drug delivery system based on Pluronic 127 (Poloxamer 407), which is a Generally Recognized As …
