C16 Peptide Promotes Vascular Growth and Reduces Inflammation in a Neuromyelitis Optica Model
The goal of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of action of C16, a laminin-1 peptide that competes with αvβ3 for integrin binding, in treating neuromyelitis optica (NMO). A NMO rat model was established and specific inhibitors were used to investigate the effect of Tie2 kinase, integrin, and...
