Description

Inspired by fibrinogen binding to activated platelets in thrombosis, a fibrinogen- mimicking, activated-platelet-sensitive nanocoacervate (RGD-Chi@tPA) was developed by “one-pot” coacervation through a simple electrostatic interaction between positively charged arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-grafted chitosan and negatively charged tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to enhance thrombus targeting and penetration for effective thrombolytic therapy.
