title: Aliphatic polyesters and cellulose-based polymers for controlled release applications.
abstract: The general technologies for fabricating drug delivery systems are briefly discussed in the present review. Furthermore, two types of commonly used polymers, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters for parenteral administration and cellulose-based polymers for oral uses, are presented by means of selected examples of their properties and applications to control drug release.
