Abstract
Aliphatic polyester biodegradable microspheres have been extensively studied for controlled and minimally invasive in situ protein delivery. However, they are commonly characterized by protein denaturation via acidic polyester degradation products, whereas their supraphysiologic modulus contributes to the inflammatory response upon implantation. To address these limitations, low-melting-point poly(ε-caprolactone-co-glycolide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone-co-glycolide) (PEG-(PCG)2) copolymers were prepared and characterized for their ability to release bioactive stromal-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) as a representative therapeutic protein. The PEG molecular weight was chosen such that it would be crystalline at room temperature to promote easy handling of the microspheres, whereas the molecular weight and composition of the hydrophobic PCG blocks were adjusted to ensure the polymer was a viscous amorphous liquid at 37 °C. Microspheres prepared from the triblock copolymers completely degraded within 8 weeks in vitro with a minor decrease in microenvironmental pH. A prolonged release of SDF-1α was observed with its bioactivity highly retained after encapsulation and release.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
