Biomaterial-assisted gene therapy for translational approaches to treat musculoskeletal disorders

Biomaterial-assisted gene therapy is a promising strategy for the treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders such as those concerning the articular cartilage, bones, tendons and ligaments, and meniscus as it can deliver candidate gene sequences in a spatially and temporally controlled manner in sites of tissue damage over prolonged periods of time that may be required to durably enhance the specific, natural repair mechanisms in vivo in...
