Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Articular chondrocytes are important in maintaining normal cartilage tissue and preventing articular degeneration. Exogenous genes have previously been transduced into articular cells using adenoviral vectors to contribute to the maintenance of cell function. This study aimed to transfer the transforming growth factor-β1 gene (TGF-β1) into rabbit articular chondrocytes by adenovirus infection to...
