Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer that primarily functions as a controlled release matrix in drug delivery systems. It exhibits key biological activity through the hydrolysis of ester bonds, enabling the gradual release of encapsulated drugs while metabolizing to non-toxic lactic acid. Its adjustable degradation rates and mechanical properties make PLA suitable for various research applications, including local and systemic drug delivery, orthopedic fixation devices, and scaffolds for 3D printed bone regeneration.
