In-vivo thrombolytic efficacy of RGD modified protein-polymer conjugated urokinase nanogels

It has been shown that an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) modified pH-triggered delivery system for the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is resistant to enzymatic degradation and improves thrombolytic ability in vitro. Herein, we aimed to compare the thrombolytic efficacies of uPA-oxi...
