Nanoencapsulation as a novel delivery approach for therapeutic applications of gla-rich protein (GRP)
AbstractIntroduction Gla rich protein (GRP) is a vitamin K dependent protein, shown to function as an inhibitor of pathological calcification and as an anti-inflammatory agent, with potential therapeutic use for age-related diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA) [1,2]. OA is a leading cause of disabil...
