Article Title: Antibiotic-Releasing Porous Polymethylmethacrylate/Gelatin/Antibiotic Constructs for Craniofacial Tissue Engineering

doi: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2011.01.029

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fabrication of PMMA/gelatin/antibiotic constructs by the sequential assembly of GMPs, antibiotic drug, and PMMA bone cement: 1). antibiotic drug is dissolved in a predetermined volume of PBS buffer solution; 2). GMPs are swollen in the drug solution; 3). swollen GMPs are mixed with the two components of PMMA bone cement, first the PMMA powder and then the liquid MMA monomer. Fabrication can be completed within minutes.
