title = "Bioabsorbable anti-inflammatory material: a novel protein-conjugated polymer with applications in the implantable medical device field",
abstract = "In this paper, we present a microfluidic method of creating hybrid protein-PLGA particles. We are combining the bioabsorbable property of PLGA and the antiinflammatory property of an immunomodulatory protein. We aim to assess whether this protein can inhibit inflammatory response to PLGA's acidic subunits as it degrades. Particles are made using a double emulsion and solvent extraction process. To date, our microfluidic system has been optimized to create single or multi-cavity particles, thin shell particles, and solid particles using a non-toxic solvent. In the near future we will characterize and compare the release profiles of the hybrid protein- PLGA particles vs. conventional protein encapsulated particles.",
