Cardiomyocytes stimulate angiogenesis after ischemic injury in a ZEB2-dependent manner

ZEB2 transcription factor is increased in a subset of cardiomyocytes during stress to induce cardioprotective effects after injury. Here the authors show that therapeutic delivery of ZEB2 prevents cardiac dysfunction after ischemic damage and promotes the activation of pro-angiogenic signals.
