Abstract:Introduction:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease characterized by the abnormal growth of cardiomyocytes (CMs), a marker of which is the early downregulation of miR-1. The delivery of miR-1 to hypertrophic CMs presents as a promising treatment strategy, however there are still limitations in the safe and efficient delivery of gene therapeutics.Ultrasound (US) and microbubbles is an emerging approach to site-specific gene delivery. Microbubbles have long been employed in clinical cardiology as … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
