They are hoping that it can one day help treat this and other problems in humans. (Read: Take the natural route to heart health – home remedies that work!) Stephen Miller at Northwestern University in Illinois and his team found a method to use microparticles made of the biodegradable polymer PLGA to tag these monocytes in mice New Scientist reported.
