Abstract

Gene therapy has converged with cartilage engineering in recent years, by which an increasing number of therapeutic genes have been explored to stimulate cartilage repair. These genes can be administered to cells via in vivo or ex vivo approaches using either viral or nonviral vectors. This chapter reviews various growth factors and delivery approaches under investigation.
