Urokinase-plasminogen activator as a target to block osteoarthritic cartilage destruction
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the major causes of disability globally, which is particularly significant in an ageing population. Read more
How does ageing influence intrinsic cartilage repair in osteoarthritis?
Articular cartilage breakdown is a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA), the highly prevalent joint disease of ageing. 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. Read more
Advancing Drug Delivery and Gene Therapy for Regeneration and Repair of the Aging Cartilage (NDORMS-2025/12)
Drugs targeting biological drivers of aging face unique translational challenges. Read more
Characterisation of adrenoceptor and muscarinic receptor subtypes coupled to potassium channels in chondrocytes from bovine cartilage
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
Several outward potassium currents have been identified in bovine chondrocytes (review Mobasheri et al. 2012). These include ATP-sensitive and a Calcium-activated potassium currents (Sanches & Lopez-Zapata, 2011). Read more
Bioprinting Gradient Scaffolds for Osteochondral Tissue Engineering Using Cell Instructive Microparticles

(MRC DTP) Rational design of peptide-based cell delivery systems for stem cell therapies
Interested in exploring the untapped potential of stem cells in tissue regeneration and healing using cutting-edge interdisciplinary research techniques?. Read more
(MRC DTP) Identification of biomarkers of disease progression and response to treatment in osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease with a high socioeconomic burden that affects ~300 million people worldwide. Read more

PhD opportunity in Prof. Wenxin Wang’s lab, University College Dublin (UCD) 4-year Full-time PhD Scholarships . Overview of the Post. Read more
Investigating the neuro-stromal-immune interactions in inflammageing and osteoarthritis.
Ageing is associated with a higher risk of developing multiple chronic conditions (multimorbidity) including osteoarthritis. Age-associated chronic low-grade inflammation (inflammageing) is a hallmark of osteoarthritis. Read more
Using pre-clinical models of disease to define new targets to slow joint degeneration in osteoarthritis
The main overall aim of this project is to understand mechanisms of joint degeneration during osteoarthritis progression in order to define new targets for therapy. Read more
Therapeutic potential of extracellular vesicles from different mesenchymal stem cell subtypes
Human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are found in adult tissues such as bone marrow and are able to differentiate into bone, cartilage and fat tissues. Read more
Graphene oxide as growth factor carriers for meniscus tissue engineering
Damage to the meniscus of the knee leads to increased risk of osteoarthritis. Tissue engineering of a healthy meniscal fibrocartilage offers the opportunity to restore function. Read more
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a real time, non-invasive and non-contact imaging modality for translucent and transparent tissue capable of providing morphological images at the micron scale resolution at more than 1mm depth penetration. Read more
