A generic strategy for pharmacological caging of growth factors for tissue engineering.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The caging of small molecules has revolutionized biological research by providing a means to regulate a wide range of processes. Here we report on a generic pharmacological method to cage proteins in a similar fashion. The present approach is of value in both fundamental and applied research, e.g. in tissue engineering.
