Transient Scleraxis Overexpression Combined with Cyclic Strain Enhances Ligament Cell Differentiation
12 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Efforts to generate tissue-engineered anterior cruciate ligament replacements are limited by a lack of methods to derive mature ligament cells. Viral overexpression of the tendon/ligament marker scleraxis (Scx) can drive cell differentiation; however, the use of viral vectors hampers translation to clinical use. In this study, C3H10T1/2 cells were transiently transfected with expression vectors containing the...
