Application of bile acids for biomedical devices and sensors

Abstract The objective of this mini‐review is to describe the recent advances and applications of bile acids (BAs) for manufacturing biomedical devices and sensors. The biological origin and unique multifunctional properties of BAs are key factors for novel biomedical applications. BAs are used for solubilization of drugs and the development of advanced devices for controlled drug delivery. BAs outperform many commercial dispersants in the …
