Thioredoxin Interacting Protein: A Novel Regulator of Angiogenesis and Impaired Neovascularisation in Diabetes Mellitus

心脏病是主要的死亡原因，搭桥手术等治疗方案不适合许多患者，特别是那些患有糖尿病的患者。该项目通过抗氧化剂的作用来研究新生血管生长的调节，同时也研究了成人干细胞在这一过程中的作用。调节新的血管生长提供了一种新的方法来克服目前非糖尿病和糖尿病合并心脏病患者的管理问题。

Heart disease is the leading cause of death and treatment options such as bypass surgery are unsuitable for many sufferers, particularly those with diabetes. This project investigates the regulation of new blood vessel growth through the action of antioxidants and also examines the contribution of adult stem cells to this process. Regulating new blood vessel growth provides a novel means to overcome current problems in the management of both non-diabetic and diabetic patients with heart disease.
