Protective effects of macrophage-specific integrin α5 in myocardial infarction are associated with accentuated angiogenesis
Abstract Macrophages sense changes in the extracellular matrix environment through the integrins and play a central role in regulation of the reparative response after myocardial infarction. Here we show that macrophage integrin α5 protects the infarcted heart from adverse remodeling and that the pr...
