Co-overexpression of TGF-β and SOX9 via rAAV gene transfer modulates the metabolic and chondrogenic activities of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells
1 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Articular cartilage has a limited potential for self-healing. Transplantation of genetically modified progenitor cells like bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is an attractive strategy to improve the intrinsic repair capacities of damaged articular cartilage. METHODS: In this study, we examined the potential benefits of co-overexpressing the pleiotropic transformation growth factor beta...
