Adjustable delivery of pro-angiogenic FGF-2 by alginate:collagen microspheres

Therapeutic induction of blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) in ischemic tissues holds great potential for treatment of myocardial infarction and stroke. Achieving sustained angiogenesis and vascular maturation has, however, been highly challenging. Here, we demonstrate that alginate:collagen hydroge...
