In Vivo Radical-Mediated Polymerization for Targeted Delivery of Trophic Factors

摘要

The present invention provides a biocompatible conjugate for treating a disease or an injury. The conjugate contains a polymer covalently linked to one or more moieties each containing a polymerizable functional group. The conjugate forms a cross-linked polymer network after being exposed to an elevated level of free radicals associated with the disease or injury.
