Engineered human mesenchymal stem cells: a novel platform for skeletal cell mediated gene therapy
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are pluripotent cells that can differentiate to various mesenchymal cell types. Recently, a method to isolate hMSCs from bone marrow and expand them in culture was described. Here we report on the use of hMSCs as a platform for gene therapy aimed at bone lesions. METHODS: Bone marrow derived hMSCs were expanded in culture and infected with recombinant adenoviral...
