Outline of Final Research Achievements |
NO generation ability was installed in nanoparticles which forms gel under the physiological conditions. The obained NO-release injectable gel was administered to the myocardial infarction region and the formed gel in myocardium improves long-term retention and continuous generation of NO and increases blood flow and new blood vessels. The objective of this work was to improve angiogenesis of myocardial infarction using our NO-releasing injectable gel. In addition, an ROS elimination function was added to the NO-releasing injectable gel, which avoided consumption of the generated NO and improved therapeutic efficacy.
