| Bioactivity | VPM peptide is a dithiol protease-cleavable peptide cross-linker. VPM peptide can be incorporated into the backbone of the PEG-diacrylate (PEG-DA) macromer to form PEG hydrogel[1][2]. | ||||||
| Invitro | VPM peptide is rapidly cleaved by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-2 proteases[2].VPM-crosslinked microgels are degradable by proteases in a concentration-dependent manner[2]. | ||||||
