Genetically encoded FRET-based biosensor for imaging MMP-9 activity.

abstract：:In ophthalmology, there is a need for novel degradable biomaterials for e.g. controlled drug release in the vitreous body. These degradable materials should feature both excellent biocompatibility, and well-defined kinetics of degradation. In most cases, poly(D,L-lactic acid), or poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) are used...
