[Gene transfer into the patellar tendon of rabbits: a preliminary study of locoregional expression of growth factors].

Abstract excerpt

Growth factors have the potential to enhance native repair responses in ligamentous and meniscal lesions. However, methods for applying these cytokines to sites of injury for extended periods are lacking. We suggest that local transfer of genes which encode the relevant healing factors merits investigation as a potential solution to this problem. In the present study different viral vectors and liposomes were...
