The transmembrane receptors αvβ3 and α5β1 Integrin play a significant role in reendothelialization and restenosis after stent implantation. By the immobilization of αvβ3 peptide mimetic on the surface of the stent, adhesion of CAECs is facilitated. If α5β1 peptide mimetic is released, the process of proliferation and migration of CASMCs, the reason for neointimal, is inhibited. With a β1 Integrin-knockout mouse model, the neointimal growth is attenuated during the vascular healing after a simulated injury.
