Gene Transfer
Biologic brachytherapy extends drug delivery with microvascular free flaps
Published in Cancer Weekly, August 3rd, 2004
"Gene therapy is a promising modality for the treatment of soft tissue malignancies. Our laboratory has developed a novel technique of gene transfer using microvascular free flaps that addresses many of the current barriers preventing gene therapy from achieving widespread clinical use. Our previous work has demonstrated our ability to transduce free flaps with an adenovirus encoding the reporter gene lacZ," scientists in the United States report.
"In this current study, we show that microvascular free flaps can be transduced with an adenovirus encoding the angiogenesis...
