A Novel Photo-labile Caged Peptide for the Repairment of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are characterized by the inability of mature neurons to regenerate or repair by themselves. In an attempt to overcome the SCI, a novel photo-sensitive cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) peptide was synthesized using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPSS) to control 3T3 fibroblast...
