BBSRC NLD Doctoral Training Partnership: Deciphering the role of transcriptional enhancers in developmental gene regulation

Healthy cartilage in our joints is essential for us to maintain an active life into old age, with cartilage breakdown causing chronic pain, joint stiffness and reduced mobility. Chondrocytes, the only cell type present in cartilage, have a specialised phenotype that is initiated during development and then maintained throughout our lives.

Injectable bioadhesive hydrogels for in-situ articular cartilage tissue regeneration

School of Pharmacy and Bioengineering invites applications for a funded PhD project that aims to address the challenges of Osteoarthritis (OA) through developing advanced photocurable cartilage-mimicking biomaterials. Read more

Unravelling functional cartilage repair in osteoarthritis: a multidisciplinary approach

Although previously regarded as a tissue with little intrinsic repair, even severely damaged articular cartilage is able to regenerate, given the correct biomechanical joint environment and availability of repair factors. Read more

Modeling cartilage degeneration using imaging data

We have an exciting new PhD study funded by a Royal Society NZ Marsden grant. The study will reveal how subtle sub-micron scale collagen network changes, in early degeneration of soft tissues, may be related to macro length scale non-invasive tissue imaging using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

NIHR Leeds BRC: Pre-clinical evaluation of novel regenerative medicine strategies for knee osteoarthritis

Historically, articular cartilage was considered incapable of spontaneous repair.  However, biomechanical correction in osteoarthritis (OA) using high tibial osteotomy or joint distraction demonstrated the remarkable joint to regeneration by “merely” correcting joint alignment. Read more
