Animal experiments showed that there were several ways to get growth factors into the heart. You could inject a gene--either by itself or wrapped in a viral envelope--that tells the heart muscle how to make growth factor. Or you could skip the gene and just use the finished product, the growth-factor protein itself. The advantage of gene therapy is that you have...
