Gene delivery of hypoxia-inducible VEGF targeting collagen effectively improves cardiac function after myocardial infarction

Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays important roles in improvement of cardiac function following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the lack of a steerable delivery system of VEGF targeting the infarcted myocardium reduces the therapeutic efficacy and safety. Here, we construc...
