Scientific focus

The role of altered osmolarity in chondrogenic differentiation of human articular chondrocytes and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Exploration of biochemical mechanisms that link mechanical stimulation and hyper-/hypotonicity in the course of chondrogenesis.

Cartilage biology on gene and protein level; Molecular signaling mechanisms of mechanotransduction and osmoregulation.
