CHIP Enhances Angiogenesis and Restores Cardiac Function After Infarction in Transgenic Mice

Background: Carboxyl terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP) is a chaperone/ubiquitin ligase that plays an important role in stress-induced apoptosis. However, the effect of CHIP on angiogenesis, cardiac function and survival 4 weeks after myocardial infarction (MI) remain to be explored. Metho...
