      This study examined the utility of a stabilized cyclic RGD peptide chemically modified to selectively bind to titanium-oxide for enhanced biocompatibility of self-expanding nitinol stents. Endothelial cells express integrin ...

      The use of highly active and selective integrin ligands in combination with stent implantation is emerging as a promising alternative to the release of classical immunosuppressive drugs by current drug-eluting stents (DES), ...
