What is it about?
Drug was wrapped by polymer particles. As long as the particle degrade, the drug will release. The coverage form will control the release time, as well as protect the drug from light and air. In present study, we loaded a sensitive anti-inflammatory drug -- EGCG to different size particles (nano- or micro-scale). The drug-releasing, bio-compatibility, acute and sustaining anti-inflammation effects were checked.

Why is it important?
It will not only develop an anti-inflammatory wound dressing for treatment of non-wound healing with abnormal inflammation stage, but also showed a format of drug delivery system.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This article also lead to a greater involvement in drug delivery research.
