Improved Tissue Repair in Articular Cartilage Defects in Vivo by rAAV-Mediated Overexpression of Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 2
26 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Therapeutic gene transfer into articular cartilage is a potential means to stimulate reparative activities in tissue lesions. We previously demonstrated that direct application of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors to articular chondrocytes in their native matrix in situ as well as sites of tissue damage allowed for efficient and sustained reporter gene expression. Here we test the hypothesis that...
