Tissue-Engineered Human Bioartificial Muscles Expressing a Foreign Recombinant Protein for Gene Therapy
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Murine skeletal muscle cells transduced with foreign genes and tissue engineered in vitro into bioartificial muscles (BAMs) are capable of long-term delivery of soluble growth factors when implanted into syngeneic mice (Vandenburgh et al., 1996b). With the goal of developing a therapeutic cell-based protein delivery system for humans, similar genetic tissue-engineering techniques were designed for human skeletal...
