Gene therapy for peripheral arterial disease
28 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Gene therapy has emerged as a novel therapy to promote angiogenesis in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) caused by peripheral artery disease. Researchers working in this area have focused on pro-angiogenic factors, such as VEGF, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Based on the elaborate studies and favorable results of basic research using naked plasmid DNA...
