The synergistic effect of NELL1 and adipose-derived stem cells on promoting bone formation in osteogenesis imperfecta treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: NELL1 and ADSCs exhibited synergistic effect on stimulating bone formation of OI mice, which might provide an alternative strategy in OI treatment. Compared with dose escalation or multiple administration of rmNELL1, lentivirus-mediated long term expression of NELL1 might be more feasible and convenient. However, further studies are needed to confirm the safety and optimize the therapeutic regime. PMID: 32454289 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
