Gene Therapy-Directed Osteogenesis: BMP-7-Transduced Human Fibroblasts Form Bone <i>in Vivo</i>
20 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
An ex vivo gene therapy strategy was used to achieve localized skeletal regeneration in vivo. When an adenovirus vector engineered to express bone morphogenetic protein 7 transduced human gingival fibroblasts or rat dermal fibroblasts, these nonosteogenic tissues formed bone and supported the development of hematopoietic tissue when transplanted into immunocompromised mice. Transduced gingival fibroblasts formed...
