Thymosin β 4 released from functionalized self-assembling peptide activates epicardium and enhances repair of infarcted myocardium

Conclusions: These results demonstrate that sustained release of Tβ4 from the functionalized SAP can activate the epicardium and effectively enhance the repair of infarcted myocardium. We believe the delivery of SAP-Tβ4 may be a promising strategy for MI therapy.
