Gene Delivery From Tissue Enginering Scaffolds

Monday, November 9, 2009: 12:30 PM
Jackson B (Gaylord Opryland Hotel)

Description:
Tissue enginering scaffolds capable of gene delivery can provide a structure that supports and the factors to drive tissue formation. This session will address the design of scaffolds and gene delivery vectors, and also the utility of the scaffolds in promoting tissue formation.
