Poly lactic co glycolic acid plga
Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible copolymer. It is composed of lactic acid and glycolic acid monomers. PLGA is a widely used material in various biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, and medical devices.

PLGA-Based Drug Delivery System
Preparation of LTB4-loaded PLGA Microspheres
The copyright holder for this preprint (which this version posted May 24, 2020. ; https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.05.22.111633 doi: bioRxiv preprint 5 (CAYM-14010; Cayman Chemical Company, Michigan, USA) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (100 µg/mL). Then, 0.3 mL of the organic phase, equivalent to 3× 10 -5 M of the LTB 4 solution was added to 10 mL of methylene chloride supplemented with 30 mg of 50:50 poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) (Boehringer Ingelheim, Germany). Next, 40 mL of 3% polyvinyl alcohol (3% w/v PVA) (Sigma-Aldrich CO., St. Louis, MO, USA) were added and the mixture was mechanically stirred at 600 rpm for 4 h (RW-20; Ika®-Werke GmbH & CO. KG, Staufen, Germany).
Microspheres were washed (3x) with deionized water (Milli-Q®, Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany), lyophilized, and stored at -20 °C until use.
Biomaterial-Based Growth Factor Delivery
Recombinant proteins BMP-7 and TGF-β3 were bought from Peprotech (USA); their respective ELISA kits were bought from Abnova (Taiwan) and Uscn Life Sience Inc.
(China). The remaining reagents and solvents used were of analytical grade or better. In all the experiments, ultrapure water was employed (Milli-Q, Millipore).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
