Characteristics of the bFGF-PLGA microspheres. (A) The lyophilized powder of controlled-release bFGF-PLGA microspheres appeared as uniform white loose lumps. (B) The bFGF-PLGA microspheres appeared as round and smooth spheres under transmission electron microscopy (magnification, ×5,000). (C) The bFGF was gradually released from the microspheres for 14 days, and the concentration was maintained within a range of 67.25 to 89.81 ng/ml. (D) The slow-release of bFGF-PLGA microspheres displayed a gradual release curve, with a release rate of 72.47% following 14 days. bFGF, basic fibroblast growth factor; PLGA, poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid.
