Intranasal Delivery of RGD-Containing Osteopontin Heptamer Peptide Confers Neuroprotection in the Ischemic Brain and Augments Microglia M2 Polarization
Osteopontin (OPN), a phosphorylated glycoprotein, is induced in response to tissue damage and inflammation in various organs, including the brain. In our previous studies, we reported the robust neuroprotective effects of the icosamer OPN peptide OPNpt20, containing arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (R...
