The adeno-associated virus rh10 vector is an effective gene transfer system for chronic spinal cord injury
Abstract Treatment options for chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) remain limited due to unfavourable changes in the microenvironment. Gene therapy can overcome these barriers through continuous delivery of therapeutic gene products to the target tissue. In particular, adeno-associated virus (AAV) vect...
