Gene-Loaded Nanoparticle-Coated Sutures Provide Effective Gene Delivery to Enhance Tendon Healing
7 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
How to accelerate tendon healing remains a clinical challenge. In this study, a suture carrying nanoparticle/pEGFP-basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and pEGFP-vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) complexes was developed to transfer the growth factor genes into injured tendon tissues to promote healing. Polydopamine-modified sutures can uniformly and tightly absorb nanoparticle/plasmid complexes. After...
