Abstract
Poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been utilized as a biomaterial in drug delivery systems because of its biodegradability, strong biocompatibility, appropriate biodegradation kinetics, and easily processed mechanical qualities. In wound healing, PLGA can provide exogenous lactate that speeds up wound healing by promoting angiogenesis, activating procollagen factors, and attracting endothelial progenitor cells. In addition to speeding up the healing process, PLGA microparticles have been shown to be effective as a wound healing agent since they can release medication-loaded wounds sustainably.
