Preliminary characterization of plga scaffold for interverterbral discs tissue engineering

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) or (PLGA) has attracted considerable interest for biomedical applications due to its biodegradability and approval for clinical use. This study aimed to characterize PLGA in terms of swelling capacity, compression test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PLGA sc...
