Antibiotic-Releasing Silk Biomaterials for Infection Prevention and Treatment

Effective treatment of infections in avascular and necrotic tissues can be challenging due to limited penetration into the target tissue and systemic toxicities. Controlled‐release polymer implants have the potential to achieve the high local concentrations needed while also minimizing systemic expo...
