Using gene therapy and stem cell technology, American researchers have developed a new method that allows severely damaged bones to grow and heal themselves. The Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the United States recently issued a press release saying that the research team led by the institute has successfully applied this method in animal experiments, and the related papers were published in the journal Science-Transformation Medicine. In animal experiments, the researchers first used collagen to make a scaffold that was filled in the gap of the damaged leg bone. After about two weeks, the stent has introduced the stem's own stem cells into the gap area. At this time, the researchers used ultrasound and microbubble technology to inject a gene that promotes bone growth into stem cells. After 8 weeks of surgery, the leg bones of all experimental animals were healed. The strength of the newly grown bone was tested to be comparable to the strength of the bone formed after bone grafting. Bone graft is a common method for the treatment of severe bone defects, but it often faces problems such as limited source of bone graft, pain in the bone extraction site, and rejection reaction caused by allogeneic bone. The researchers say the new method is expected to replace bone graft surgery in the future to repair severely damaged bone.
