Acellular Matrix Biomaterial Promotes Vasculogenesis and Cardiac Repair: Evidence of a Bioinductive FGF-2-dependent Mechanism 

Abstract

Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials can promote cardiac repair and functional recovery post-MI, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. ECM has bioinductive effects given its capacity to retain growth... [ view full abstract ]
