Abstract Silk-Elastinlike Protein-Based Polymers (SELPs) can form thermoresponsive
hydrogels that allow for the generation of in-situ drug delivery matrices. They are produced …

Percutaneous transcatheter embolization procedures involve the selective occlusion of
blood vessels. Occlusive agents, referred to as embolics, vary in material characteristics …

The process of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization is characterized by the ability to
accurately deliver chemotherapy drugs with minimal systemic side effects and has become …

Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a recommended treatment for patients suffering
from intermediate and advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As compared to the …

Undoubtedly the applications of polymers are rapidly evolving. Technology is continually
