Overview

Description

Carboxylated polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres are made from polylactic acid that has been further modified to incorporate carboxyl functional groups. This modification enhances their ability to interact with various biological molecules and cells, making them an ideal vehicle for controlled drug release and targeted delivery of therapeutics. The carboxyl groups on the surface of these microspheres can be activated for covalent binding with other molecules, allowing for the attachment of peptides, proteins, or antibodies, thereby enhancing their specificity and efficacy in medical applications.
