Glyoxal cross-linked porous magnetic chitosan microspheres, GMS (∼170 μm size), with a tunable degradation profile were synthesized by a water-in-oil emulsion technique to accomplish controlled delivery of doxorubicin (DOX), a chemotherapeutic drug, to ensure prolonged chemotherapeutic effects. The GMS exhibit superparamagnetism with saturation magnetization, <i>M</i> <sub>s</sub> = 7.2 emu g<sup>-1</sup>. The <i>in vitro</i> swelling and degradation results demonstrate that a swelling plateau o ...[more]
