MMP9-sensitive polymers mediate environmentally-responsive bivalirudin release and thrombin inhibition

Abstract

Enzymatically-responsive bivalirudin polymers loaded in thermoresponsive hydrogels mediate localized therapeutic peptide delivery in spinal cord injuries. These materials respond to upregulated remodelling enzymes to release therapeutic peptide into injured tissue.
