Research Abstract |
In our studies, combined treatment of bFGF, GDF-5, and peptide hydrogels stimulates the healing of rabbit MCL injury model. In addition, bFGF and GDF-5 play important roles in cellular migration and matrix synthesis of ligament-derived cells. Scleraxis gene transduction using in vivo electroporation and sonoporation enhances the expression of type I collagen gene. Our results suggest that in vivo gene therapy might be a good candidate for the treatment of ligament injury.
