Abstract

Postero-lateral lumbar fusion in a rabbit model was performed to compare the bone induction potential of autograft, insoluble bone gelatin (ISBG), osteogenic protein-1 (OP-1), and the combination of ISBG and OP-1. To evaluate the efficiency of ISBG as a carrier/enhancer for OP-1 in a rabbit spinal fusion model. OP-1 or recombinant human BMP-7 has been shown to be effective in inducing new bone formation in surgical applications such as spinal arthrodesis. However, the lack of an ideal carrier contributes to its associated comorbidities (e.g., uncontrolled bone growth, local inflammatory over-response, nonfusion) and limits its use clinically. Adult New Zealand white rabbits (n = 32) underwent bilateral lumbar intertransverse process fusion procedures at L5 to L6 and were randomized to receive: (1) autograft; (2) ISBG; (3) OP-1; or (4) ISBG in combination with OP-1 (ISBG + OP-1). Spinal fusion masses were evaluated by manual palpation, biomechanical testing, radiographic assessment, microcomputer tomography scanning and histologic examination at 6 weeks after surgery. Treatment of ISBG + OP-1 resulted in higher spinal fusion rates (7 of 7, 100%) than that of autograft (3 of 7, 43%), ISBG (2 of 8, 25%), and OP-1 (2 of 7, 29%) bas...Continue Reading

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
