The Effects of Lentiviral Gene Therapy With Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2-Producing Bone Marrow Cells on Spinal Fusion in Rats
26 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
STUDY DESIGN: Rat spinal fusion model. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the ability of rat bone marrow cells (RBMCs) transfected with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2-containing lentivirus to induce a posterolateral spinal fusion in a rat model. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Spinal arthrodesis is a commonly performed spinal procedure and autograft remains the standard for achieving spinal fusion. However,...
