- Title
Development of drug-eluting stent coated with PLGA nanoparticles as drug carriers.
- Authors
Yusuke Tsukada; Hiroyuki Tsujimoto
- Abstract
The article presents the authors' comment on the cover photograph in the journal. The authors explain that the photo shows the stent, a medical device coated with biocompatible and bioabsorbable poly D, Llactidecoglycolide (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) and used as a measure to treat the arterial stenosis. The authors state that the PLGA NPs coated stent restrain the re-stenosis rate through sustained-drug release.
