Abstract

To date, hydrogels have opened new prospects for potential applications for drug delivery. The thermo-sensitive hydrogels have the great potential to provide more effective and controllable release of therapeutic/bioactive agents in response to changes in temperature. PLGA is a safe FDA-approved copolymer with good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Recently, PLGA-based formulation have attracted a lot of interest for thermo-sensitive hydrogels. Thermo-sensitive PLGA-based hydrogels provide the delivery system with good spatial and temporal control, and have been widely applied in drug delivery. This review is focused on the recent progression of the thermo-sensitive and biodegradable PLGA-based hydrogels that have been reported for smart drug delivery to the different organs. Eventually, future perspectives and challenges of thermo-sensitive PLGA-based hydrogels are discussed briefly. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
