Seminar by Dr Matthew Murphy "THE ROLE OF SKELETAL STEM CELLS IN INJURY, AGING AND REGENERATION."
This seminar will be held in the Kennedy Institute Lecture Theatre with the option to join via Zoom https://medsci.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYtd-murD4pE9exzAbb0GApM528HQ3RO_WI
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease which results in irreversible, progressive damage to the cartilage of joints with a prevalence estimated to be over 303 million globally. During this seminar I will introduce the concept of the mouse and human Skeletal Stem Cell (SSC). I will share our understanding of how SSC are affected by age, have the capability to “activate” following injury and how, under niche augmentation, can be instructed to regenerate cartilage. My goal is to provide an effective therapeutic adjunct to regenerate cartilage and alleviate symptoms for patients with OA.
