Joints That Could Heal Themselves-Researchers Could Get There in Five Years
Mar 26, 2024Imagine a day when joints could heal themselves. At the first inkling of a creaky knee, patients could get a single shot in the joint that would not only stop their cartilage and bone from eroding, but kick-start its regrowth. In more advanced cases, that shot might also deliver a biomaterial repair kit to patch holes in tissue. If multiple joints ached, an annual IV infusion could ferry regenerating therapies to all of them at once.Full story -

Kristine Fischenich, PhD receives a New Investigator Recognition Award at the Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting
Feb 14, 2023Full storyThe Payne Lab attended the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Orthopaedic Research Society in Dallas, TX. Aditya Mantha, a medical student researcher in the group, presented his work on single-cell RNA sequencing data from the repair tissue isolated after growth plate injury in a rat model. Dr. Kristine Fischenich presented her work on “Onset of skeletal deformities in a rabbit model of growth plate injury is delayed with a 3D printed biomimetic composite” and received a New Investigator Recognition Award. Congratulations to both!

A 3D printed mimetic composite for the treatment of growth plate injuries in a rabbit modelOpens in a new window
Oct 19, 2022Opens in a new window Full storyCongratulations to all authors, especially trainees from the Payne, Bryant and Ferguson labs, for a new publication in npj Regenerative Medicine! This project includes mechanical characterization of rabbit growth plate to guide the creation of a 3D printed growth plate mimetic composite developed with 3D printing technology and a cartilage-mimetic hydrogel, and eventually tested in a rabbit model of growth plate injury. We are excited to continue developing this potential treatment for growth plate injuries.
