Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is one of the most successful polymers used for producing therapeutic devices, such as drug carriers (DC). PLGA is one of the few polymers that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved for human administration due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. In recent years, DC produced with PLGA has gained enormous attention for its versatility in transporting different type of drugs, e.g., hydrophilic or hydrophobic small molecules, or macromolecules with a controlled drug release without modifying the physiochemical properties of the drugs. These drug delivery systems have the possibility/potential to modify their surface properties with functional groups, peptides, or other coatings to improve the interactions with biological materials. Furthermore, they present the possibility to be conjugated with specific target molecules to reach specific tissues or cells. They are also used for different therapeutic applications, such as in vaccinations, cancer treatment, neurological disorder treatment, and as anti-inflammatory agents. This book aims to focus on the recent progress of PLGA as a drug carrier and their new pharmaceutical applications. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Dan y Cressie: una pareja de mente abierta, hasta que comparten una prostituta masajista. Cressie lleva un amuleto de Aeshma, el demonio de la ira de una religión de medio oriente. Pero, ¿Puede Aeshma encajar en un país donde la religión oficial, el budismo, no reconoce al pecado como algo que sea capaz de dañar el alma y llevarla al tormento eterno? Cressie decía que iría a la ciudad con mayor turismo sexual del mundo para acudir a rezar en sus templos Budistas. ¿Pero por qué arrastró a Dan a un burdel masajista? ¿Por qué la joven y bella Prani, su nueva amiga, tuvo que quedarse con ellos en la misma pieza del hotel durante el resto de sus vacaciones? ¿Qué tan bien se lleva el Buda, del amuleto que lleva Prani en su cuello, con Aeshma? ¿Qué hacen las esposas Thai cuando sus maridos las engañan, que tanto divierte a Cressie y Dan? En esta corta pequeña historia de terror, la necesidad sexual, la ignorancia cultural y la pobreza de autoestima colisionan entre ellas para luego concluir en una tragedia. |
