Injectable Microbeads with a Thermo‐Responsive Shell and a pH‐Responsive Core as a Dual‐Switch‐Controlled Release System

Abstract

Treating inflammation with a dual-switch-controlled release system: The release of a drug from the developed microbead system occurs only in response to both an increase in local temperature and an acidic environmental pH. This dual-switch-controlled release system has the advantages of distinguishing between inflamed and healthy tissues to improve treatment efficacy.
