Are PLGA nanoparticles self-assembled structures?

Several nanoparticles are self-assembled structures, such as micelles. What about PLGA nanoparticles?

Miguel Pereira-Silva

PLGA is chemically an amphiphilic copolymer. Like proteins, depending on the concentration, it self-assembles into micelles due to hydrophobic interaction.
