Abstract:The potential of using proteins as drugs is held back
by their
low stability in the human body and challenge of delivering them to
the site of function. Extensive research is focused on drug delivery
systems that can protect, carry, and release proteins in a controlled
manner. Of high potential are cross-linked degradable starch microspheres
(DSMs), as production of these is low-cost and environmentally friendly,
and the products are degradable by the human body. Here, we demonstrate
that DSMs can absorb the m… Show more
