Lentiviral-Mediated Integrin α5 Expression in Human Adult Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Promotes Bone Repair in Mouse Cranial and Long-Bone Defects
30 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
Adult human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are an important source for tissue repair in regenerative medicine. Notably, targeted gene therapy in hMSCs to promote osteogenic differentiation may help in the development of novel therapeutic approaches for bone repair. We recently showed that α5 integrin (ITGA5) promotes osteoblast differentiation in bone marrow–derived hMSCs. Here, we determined whether...
