Background - Alterations in the balance of matrix metalloproteinases ( MMPs) and their specific tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) are involved in left ventricular (LV) remodeling. Whether their expression is...

Cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of nitric oxide synthase 3 improves left ventricular performance and reduces compensatory hypertrophy after myocardial infarction (2004)

Preexisting antiadenoviral immunity and regional myocardial gene transfer: modulation by nitric oxide (2002)

Gillijns, Hilde, Laurysens, Veerle, ...

The utility of adenoviral vectors, currently used in cardiovascular gene transfer protocols, is limited by the brevity of transgene expression and by antiadenoviral immune responses. The effect of...
