Engineered insulin-like growth factor-1 for improved smooth muscle regeneration

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Kristen Lorentz, Lirong Yang

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has been shown to induce potent mitogenic responses in various cell types, yet its sustained local delivery is still an underdeveloped domain in the clinic. We report here an engineered IGF-1 that facilitates extended l ...
