Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery – Anirban Sen Gupta on Novel Platelet-Like PLGA-PSP Nanoparticles
Anirban Sen Gupta, Wallace R. Persons Professor of Engineering in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“People say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery (I hope it is!).
In any case, today I stumbled upon a paper that was apparently published recently (in September 2025) in International Journal Of Nanomedicine by a team from China where they took the exact same peptides that we had identified and used in our original SynthoPlate design back in 2010, but they put it on PLGA nanoparticles (instead of our liposomal platform) and called it “Novel Platelet-like PLGA-PSP”.
At least they got really great hemostatic outcome in their thrombocytopenic mouse trauma models, corroborating that our original choice of platelet function-mimicking peptides was a good one, and it is adaptable on other particle and polymer platforms!
What do you think, Matthew D. Neal, Michael Bruckman, Christa L. Pawlowski, Tim Pelura?
This is the publication.”
