Abstract

The invention provides particles, compositions including the particles, and methods of making the particles using electrospray. In certain embodiments, the particles allow for high concentrations of a therapeutic or diagnostic agent to be delivered at low viscosity. Particles may also exhibit beneficial properties with respect to stability.

Claims (20)
