Application of Deferoxamine in Tissue Regeneration Attributed to Promoted Angiogenesis

Area of Science:

• Biomedical Engineering
• Pharmacology
• Vascular Biology

Background:

• Deferoxamine is an FDA-approved iron chelator with established anti-inflammatory properties.
• Vascular dysfunction is implicated in numerous life-threatening diseases.
• Angiogenesis plays a critical role in tissue repair and homeostasis.

Purpose of the Study:

• To elucidate the mechanism by which deferoxamine promotes angiogenesis.
