摘要: The inability to deliver growth factors locally in a transient but sustained manner is substantial barrier tissue regeneration. Systems capable of localized plasmid gene delivery for prolonged times may offer lower toxicity and should be well-suited factor therapeutics. We investigated the potency from genes physically entrapped polymer matrix (gene activated matrix) using bone regeneration as endpoint vivo. Implantation matrices at sites injury was associated with retention expression DNA least 6 weeks, induction centimeters normal new stable, reproducible, dose- time-dependent manner.
