COMPOSTO, MOLÉCULA DE DNA, E, MÉTODOS PARA TRATAR UM PACIENTE COM TECIDO CARDÍACO DANIFICADO, PARA TRATAR UM PACIENTE PARA REPARAR CARTILAGEM DANIFICADA E PARA TRATAR UM PACIENTE PARA REPARAR TECIDO DO NERVO DANIFICADO

摘要

The present invention is directed to proteins in which a heparin binding peptide is fused to a growth factor that promotes cell growth and survival. The compound thus formed is bound to the surface of cells which are then administered to damaged tissue. The growth factor is thereby maintained at the site of administration where it promotes repair.
