“…Regarding the use of microgels as drug-delivery vehicles, many different studies have been performed with varying drugs, ranging from lysozyme [ 24 ] over the more hydrophilic drugs dopamine, naproxen, desipramine, dibucaine, acetaminophen [ 25 ], and -aescin [ 26 ] to the hydrophobic doxorubicin (DOX) [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Just from these representative examples, it can be stated that the structure of microgels, which often exhibit a rather hydrophobic, cross-linker rich core region and a rather hydrophilic corona [ 34 ], enables these particles to act as carriers for a variety of hydrophilic and hydrophobic drugs.…”
