BMP‐12 gene transfer augmentation of lacerated tendon repair
1 Nov 2001
Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) 12 is a recently discovered member of the human BMP family. It is the human homolog of mouse growth/differentiation factor (GDF)-7. Previously we reported that injection of mesenchymal progenitor cells transferred with the BMP-12 gene into the muscles of nude mice induced tendon-like tissue formation. In this study, we further investigated the effect of BMP-12 gene transfer on...
