Arg-Gly-Asp-modified elastin-like polypeptide regulates cell proliferation and cell cycle proteins via the phosphorylation of Erk and Akt in pancreatic β-cell
Objective: Enhancement of β-cell proliferation plays an important role in maintaining β-cell mass and function, and in improving pancreatic β-cell survival before transplantation. Extracellular matrix (ECM) components increase the adhesion and proliferation of β-cells, and the RGD-modified elastin-l...
