Genetic modification of bone marrow stem cells in treatment of hind limb ischemia / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

With the development of gene technology,it is gradually possible and much better for genetic modification of bone marrow stem cells in treatment of hindlimb ischemia. Gene modification of cells prior to their transplantation, especially stem cells, enhances their survival and increases their function in cell therapy. But this treatment is only used for the experimental stage. Here, we review the current uses of gene-modified bone marrow stem cells in vascular disease.
