Abstract:
CXCR4-positive bone marrow cells (BMCs) are critically involved in cardiac repair mechanisms contributing to preserved cardiac function. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is the most prominent BMC homing factor known to augment BMC engraftment, which is a limiting step of stem cell-based therapy. After myocardial infarction, SDF-1 expression is rapidly upregulated and promotes myocardial repair.We have established a bifunctional protein consisting of an SDF-1 domain and a glycoprotein VI (GP...     »
