Self‐Healing Microencapsulation of Biomacromolecules without Organic Solvents

Abstract

Capture and seal off all exits! Biomacromolecules are routinely microcapsulated in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) in multiple complex steps that are deleterious to the biomacromolecule. In contrast, PLGA encapsulation based on self-healing (see picture) shows high efficiency without protein damage and enables the stabilization and slow release of proteins.
