Abstract |
Despite outstanding progress in the area of cardiovascular diseases, significant challenges remain in designing efficient delivery systems for myocardial therapy. Nanotechnology provides the tools to explore such frontiers of biomedical science at cellular level and thus offers unique features for potential application in the field of cardiac therapy. This chapter focuses on the methodology, based on the work done in our lab, to prepare and investigate two kinds of biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) that can be useful for sustained delivery of single or multiple angiogenic growth factors to damaged sites, such as in myocardially infarcted heart to promote myocardial angiogenesis and reduce scar area. |
