Distinct receptors and signaling pathways in alpha-thrombin- and thrombin receptor peptide-induced vascular contractions.

abstract：:Gene therapy, aimed at the correction of key pathologies being out of reach for conventional drugs, bears the potential to alter the treatment of cardiovascular diseases radically and thereby of heart failure. Heart failure gene therapy refers to a therapeutic system of targeted drug delivery to the heart that uses fo...
