Simultaneous gene transfer of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) -2 and BMP-7 by <it>in vivo </it>electroporation induces rapid bone formation and BMP-4 expression

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transcutaneous <it>in vivo </it>electroporation is expected to be an effective gene-transfer method for promoting bone regeneration using the BMP-2 plasmid vector. To promote enhanced osteoinduction using this method, we...
