Myocyte enhancer factor 2 mediates vascular inflammation via the p38-dependent pathway.

abstract：:A variety of delivery systems have been used to genetically modify vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), but currently available systems suffer from either inefficient in vivo gene transfer, transient episomal vector expression, or significant immune responses and inflammation. In the present stud...
