Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys TFA is the binding motif of fibronectin to cell adhesion molecules. Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys TFA can inhibit platelet aggregation and fibrinogen binding[1].
Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys-functionalized chitosan (0.25-1 mg/mL; 2-7 days) favors cell growth and an increase in cellular proliferation compared to the control cells (viability >140%)[1].Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys-functionalizes chitosan derivatives exhibit in vitro wound healing properties by enhancing fibroblast proliferation and adhesion[1].
