  • Concentration gradient profiles for control of agent release rates from polymer matrices
    Publication number: 20060246109
    Abstract: The present invention generally encompasses the control of the release rate of agents from a polymeric matrix. This control over the release rate of agents provides for control over, inter alia, the therapeutic, prophylactic, diagnostic, and ameliorative effects that are realized by a patient in need of such treatment.
