Preparation of PLGA Nanoparticles by Milling Spongelike PLGA Microspheres
Currently, emulsification-templated nanoencapsulation techniques (e.g., nanoprecipitation) have been most frequently used to prepare poly-d,l-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) nanoparticles. This study aimed to explore a new top-down process to produce PLGA nanoparticles.

Study of Thermal Degradation of PLGA, PLGA Nanospheres and PLGA/Maghemite Superparamagnetic Nanospheres [PDF]
Poly(glycolide-co-lactide) (PLGA) nanospheres containing magnetic materials have been extensively studied because of its biomedical applications. Therefore, it is very important to know thermal properties of these materials in addition to other physical properties. Thermal degradation activation energy (Eα) of PLGA nanospheres with maghemite entrapment

PLGA Particles in Immunotherapy
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particles are a widely used and extensively studied drug delivery system. The favorable properties of PLGA such as good bioavailability, controlled release, and an excellent safety profile due to the biodegradable polymer backbone qualified PLGA particles for approval by the authorities for the application as a drug
