Effects of TGF-β Overexpression via rAAV Gene Transfer on the Early Repair Processes in an Osteochondral Defect Model in Minipigs
24 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Application of the chondrogenic transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is an attractive approach to enhance the intrinsic biological activities in damaged articular cartilage, especially when using direct gene transfer strategies based on the clinically relevant recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors. PURPOSE: To evaluate the ability of an rAAV-TGF-β construct to modulate the early repair...
