A novel PNIPAM-Modified polyurethane/carboxymethyl cellulose photo-thermoresponsive hydrogel loaded with gemcitabine to suppress esophageal cancer cells via VEGF-mediated angiogenic pathway inhibition

Abstract This study reports the development of a thermoresponsive hydrogel composed of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-modified polyurethane (PNIPAM-PU) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for the controlled delivery of gemcitabine (GEM) in esophageal cancer treatment. Characterization by XRD and FTIR con...
