Combining gene therapy and tissue engineering, gene-activated matrix (GAM) is able to activate cells in or near the scaffolds to express the desired growth factors at effective levels within the local tissue microenvironment and further to restore the structure and function of damaged or dysfunctional tissues like skin, cartilage, bone, vessel, muscle, tendon and so on.
