Methods for fabricating nano and microparticles for drug delivery

摘要

The present invention generally relates to stimuli-responsive drug carriers and methods for making. More specifically, the present invention relates to stimuli-responsive lidded particles that respond to a physiological stimulus and dissolve at a target site inside the body thereby releasing therapeutic agents. The present invention further relates to solid, drug-loaded particles that are made from biodegradable polymers. The present invention further relates to methods for fabricating lidded particles and particles for drug delivery.
