Encapsulation of growth factors into polymer microspheres that degrade at various rates (A), for example by altering the extend of cross-linking, enable control over timing of release (C). Similarly, in scaffold delivery systems (B), factors can be encapsulated into the more rapidly degrading bulk for rapid release, or within more slowly degrading microspheres embedded in the bulk polymer for a delayed release.
