Angiogenic peptide hydrogel repairs blood brain barrier and reduces coagulation. (A) Co-localization of FITC tracer along vasculature (green) with tight junction protein (ZO-1, red) in sham, FPI and FPI+SLanc brain sections. Scale bar is 40 μm, T = 7days post FPI. (B) Western blot quantification results show that coagulation persisted after 7 days post-FPI, with angiogenic treatment SLanc; blood platelets (CD42d) was significantly reduced compared with FPI group. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple analysis was used, values are mean ± SEM (n = 5), *p < 0.05.
