Gene therapy for bone formation: In vitro and in vivo osteogenic activity of an adenovirus expressing BMP7
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are well-established agents for inducing orthotopic and ectopic bone formation. However, their clinical usefulness as regenerative agents may be limited by a short in vivo half-life and low specific activity. BMP gene therapy is an alternative route for exploiting the bone-inductive activity of this class of molecules. To test the feasibility of this approach, we examined the...
