New: View a video of Dr. Temenoff explaining current research in the lab.
Our current areas of research are:
- Use combination of well-defined biomaterial environment and tensile culture bioreactor to:
- Understand effects of mechanical forces on differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells toward the tendon/ligament lineage
- Elucidate effects of local environment on mechanotransduction by mesenchymal stem cells
-
Tensile culture system for applying cyclic mechanical strain - Characterize localized extracellular matrix production at interfaces in orthopaedic tissues
-
Patellar tendon, collagen type I (Jeremy Lim) Cartilage, collagen type I
(Jeremy Lim) - Develop cell carrier materials that work in concert with local mechanical forces to promote regeneration of orthopaedic interfaces, such as tendon/ligament - bone.
-
A laminated OPF hydrogel.
