Repairing cardiac tissue remains one of the most challenging goals in tissue engineering. Here, we discuss ways whereby we sought to treat myocardial infarctions using extracellular-matrix derived peptides. Using an ischemia/reperfusion myocardial infarction rodent model, we targeted these extracellular matrix-derived peptides to the myocardial infarct site and were able to induce angiogenesis and alter the negative remodeling seen after an acute myocardial infarction. Our results indicate a potentially new strategy for repairing damaged tissue.
修复心脏组织仍然是组织工程学中最具挑战性的目标之一。在这里,我们讨论了使用细胞外基质衍生肽治疗心肌梗死的方法。我们使用缺血/再灌注心肌梗死啮齿动物模型,将这些细胞外基质衍生肽靶向心肌梗死部位,能够诱导血管生成,并改变急性心肌梗死后的负性重构。我们的结果表明了一种修复受损组织的潜在新策略。
