Abstract

Bone fractures such as pelvic fracture or sternal fracture could be a serious, life-threatening event requiring emergency medical care and lengthy rehabilitation. We have selected BMP-2 as a possible answer for the treatment of severe bone fractures. BMP-2 is known as the powerful inducers of osteogenic differentiation. Due to the short half-life of BMPs in vivo, continuous production of BMPs by gene therapy could be one of the good methods for the successful regeneration of a bone defect. We have tested ex-vivo approach for the regeneration of critical sized bone defect.
