Two different vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) amphiphiles have been formulated which readily form micelles of varying shapes. Interestingly, VIP micelle structure has been found to directly correlate to anti-inflammatory behavior providing evidence that these biomaterials can serve as a promising new therapeutic modality.
两种不同的血管活性肠肽 (VIP) 两亲体已被制成,它们很容易形成不同形状的胶束。有趣的是,已经发现 VIP 胶束结构与抗炎行为直接相关,这为这些生物材料可以作为一种有前途的新治疗方式提供了证据。
