Targeting of dermal myofibroblasts through death receptor 5 arrests fibrosis in mouse models of scleroderma.

abstract：:N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play a central role in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, and are implicated in various neuronal disorders. We synthesized a diffusible photochromic glutamate analogue, azobenzene-triazole-glutamate (ATG), which is specific for NMDARs and functions as a photoswitchable ag...
