Co-delivery of TGF-β3 and COL I-targeting shRNA with adenoviral and lentiviral vectors for COL I-surpressed in vitro chondrogenesis
Cartilage degeneration poses a challenge to clinicians in spite of the various therapies that have been developed for its treatment. Cell-based therapy is promising due to its ability to restore the structure and function of the native cartilage as much as possible. Stromal-derived mesenchymal stem...

Cartilage degeneration poses a challenge to clinicians in spite of the various therapies that have been developed for its treatment.
