Skeletal Ageing Research and Therapy (ART) Laboratory
It is to advance the understanding, early detection, treatment and prevention of osteoarthritis through data-driven innovations.
Definition of OA
Osteoarthritis is a disorder involving movable joints characterized by cell stress and extracellular matrix degradation initiated by micro- and macro-injury that activates maladaptive repair responses including pro-inflammatory pathways of innate immunity. The disease manifests first as a molecular derangement (abnormal joint tissue metabolism) followed by anatomic, and/or physiologic derangements (characterized by cartilage degradation, bone remodeling, osteophyte formation, joint inflammation and loss of normal joint function), that can culminate in illness.

Endothelins are vasoconstricting peptides, which play an essential role in vascular homeostasis (e.g. blood pressure). Hypertension is believed that it has high correlation with Osteoarthritis. This Project studies the effects of Endothelins on articular cartilage from its structures to its applications.
