17 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Identification of novel factors that contribute to myocardial repair and collateral vessel growth hold promise for treatment of heart diseases. We have shown that transient prokineticin receptor-1 (PKR1) gene transfer protects the heart against myocardial infarction in a mouse model. Here, we investigated the role of excessive PKR1 signaling in heart. METHODS AND RESULTS: Transgenic mice overexpressing...
