Targeting adeno-associated viral vectors to fractures and the skeleton

Lee Lucinda , Peacock Lauren , Lisowski Leszek , Little David , Munns Craig , Schindeler Aaron

Objectives: While local gene therapy for bone applications has shown some success in preclinical models, systemic delivery of transgenes to the skeleton remains a considerable challenge. Viral vectors such as adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have great potential as vectors for systemic transgene delivery and may be adapted for emerging gene editing technologies. Furthermore, AAV vectors can have high efficiency, low immunogenicity, and selective tropism towards different tissue...
