The efficacy of adenovirus (ADV)-mediated gene therapy to treat brain tumors was tested in a syngeneic glioma model. Tumor cells were transduced in situ with a replication-defective ADV carrying the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) gene controlled by the Rous sarcoma virus promoter. Ex

We investigated the feasibility in rats of enhancing skin-flap prefabrication with subdermal injections of adenovirus-encoding vascular endothelial growth factor (Ad-VEGF). The left saphenous vascular pedicle was used as a source for vascular induction. A peninsular abdominal flap (8 β’ 8 cm) was ele
## Abstract This experimental study investigates the feasibility of pretreating the abdominal skin of a rat with subdermal injections of adenovirus encoding angiopoietinβ1 in order to improve postoperative survival of the skin flap. An epigastric skin flap was used as the model in this study. Rats
## Abstract ## Background Kidney transplantation is possible by virtue of systemic immunosuppression, which is in turn accompanied by serious side effects. The search for novel therapeutic agents and strategies is ongoing. Here we investigate the effects of adenovirusβmediated gene therapy with in
