Clinical interests center on joint diseases and bone circulation, in OA and osteonecrosis. Recent studies have involved delineating the role of arthroscopy in OA, elucidating the role of bone marrow edema in joint pain, and studying the use of anti-resorptive therapy in osteonecrosis.
In the laboratory, Dr. Aaron is investigating aspects of the
pathophysiology of OA focusing on circulatory disturbances in subchondral bone and the relationship of bone and
cartilage abnormalities. |

Professor of Medical Science Qian Chen studies the development and aging of joint cartilage. His research on cartilage cells and extracellular matrix– proteins that support tissue architecture– examines how the mutations in these proteins lead to skeleton malformation and joint degeneration. He also studies how skeletal development and aging are affected by mechanical factors. By studying these mechanisms, he hopes to develop therapies against osteoarthritis, and repair damaged cartilage. |

Dr. Deborah McK. Ciombor's research focuses on cell-based tissue engineering to create a transplantable biocomposite cartilage replacement that may be able to restore function lost to trauma or disease. A stem cell population has been identified in joint lining tissues (synovium) that can be differentiated into cartilage cells by exposure to specific sequences of growth factors. |

Our work is focused on the in vivo study of the normal, pathological, and healing musculoskeletal joint. Measurement of biomechanical variables such as 3D kinematics, ligament strain, and joint contact are performed with our novel in vivo methods using sequential CT scans. Earlier studies on ligament impact biomechanics and muscle contusion injuries examined the basic science of injuries. Applied work on injuries has led to the development of a telemetry system for measuring head acceleration in athletes and to a study of the performance differences between wood and aluminum baseball bats. Current studies are aimed at in vivo cartilage strains, mechanotransduction of chondrocytes, and the multi-directional biomechanics of the spine. |

Primary research interests focus on knee and soft tissue biomechanics and biomedical instrumentation. Recent projects include the in vivo strain measurements of the human anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the development and application of an experimental model to investigate ligament and graft healing, the progression of osteoarthritis following ACL injury/reconstructionl, the biotribology of articular cartilage, and enhanced healing in ACL repair and reconstruction. |

The research of Dr. Richard Terek is on a type of bone cancer called chondrosarcoma, which is composed of malignant cartilage cells. He is trying to determine the mechanisms by which these tumors induce formation of blood vessels, which is necessary for growth of the tumor and development of metastases. The research utilizes molecular biology techniques to analyze gene expression in chondrosarcoma cell lines cultured in the laboratory under normal oxygen levels and hypoxia. |

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common musculoskeletal diseases that result in pain and the loss of physical activity. However, the mechanism is unknown. Our study is to understand the mechanism of OA and to develop a novel therapy for treating primary osteoarthritis, based on our recent findings of molecular mechanisms of OA development. |
