Gene-activated matrices (GAMs) encoding pivotal transcription factors (TFs) represent a powerful tool to direct stem cell specification for tissue engineering applications. However, current TF-based GAMs activated with pDNA, are challenged by their low transfection efficiency and delayed transgene expression. Here, we report a GAM technology activated with mRNAs encoding TFs SOX9 (cartilage) and MYOD (muscle).
