Swelling capacity and degradation behaviour are important factors for biomaterial scaffold in tissue engineering (TE). Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a synthetic polymer used commonly as scaffolding material. Major concern with PLGA use is the trigger of inflammatory reaction damaging cells...
