Abstract

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited connective tissue sickness characterized via fragility, deformity and low bone density, as well as by other scientific manifestations. Type I OI is the mildest and most commonplace form of the disease, caused by mutation inside the COL1A1 gene, resulting within the production of handiest ~50% of everyday collagen. The corresponding animal model is the oim mouse, supplying a phenotype very just like human kind I OI. We intention, for the first time, at comparing the electrotransference of mouse increase hormone (mGH) gene, encoding a protein that already confirmed therapeutic effects, collectively with the administration of murine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), for enhancing heterozygous oim mice phenotype
