Next-Generation Resorbable and Long-Term Hollow/Porous Glass Microspheres for Precision Transarterial Embolization.$315Kvalue2025start2026end

This project aims to develop resorbable hollow/porous/solid glass microspheres for precision transarterial embolization (TAE), with long-term variants as an additional option. Unlike permanent embolic agents, the resorbable radiopaque microspheres provide temporary occlusion, precise imaging, and safe, controlled degradation. Objectives include synthesizing tunable glass microsphere compositions, optimizing their structure for payload and delivery efficiencies, and confirming effectiveness in preclinical models. These versatile, biocompatible microspheres enhance TAE precision, minimize long-t
