Figure 1From: Rapamycin-loaded nanoparticles for inhibition of neointimal hyperplasia in experimental vein grafts Characterization and in vitro release of the rapamycin from the RPLGA nanoparticles. A, Dynamic light scattering analysis for nanoparticles. B, Transmission electron micrograh RPLGA NPs. Bar represents 1 μm. C, Transmission electron microscopic picture of cross-section of VSMCs incubated with NP for 1 hour. Arrows indicate NP in the cytoplasm. Scale bar = 1 μm. D, In vitro release profile of rapamycin from RPLGA NPs. The percentage of rapamycin released was plotted against time.Back to article page
