In vivo safety evaluation and tracing of arginylglycylaspartic acid-engineered phage nanofiber in murine model

Abstract

The engineered phage YSY184, mimicking the extracellular matrix nanofiber, effectively promotes stem cell differentiation and angiogenesis. This study evaluated its safety in a mouse model, monitoring weight, immunogenicity, spleen immune responses, and macrophage infiltration. Rapid clearance of YSY184 was observed, with peak tissue presence within three hours, significantly reduced by 24 hours, and negligible after one month. No adverse physiological or pathological effects were detected post-administration, affirming YSY184's safety and underscore its potential for therapeutic use, warranting further clinical exploration.
