Our Mission
Cartilage lesions caused by degeneration or injuries result in pain that severely limits physical activity, significantly affecting quality of life and presenting a major health concern. Currently, there are no effective therapies available for the repair of damaged cartilage. In response to this critical medical need, our mission is to develop and evaluate stem cell-based therapies as regenerative treatments for cartilage repair.
To fulfill this mission, our laboratory research first focuses on investigating the induction of stem cell differentiation for cartilage regeneration, aiming to enhance the effectiveness of regenerative treatments. Additionally, we are understanding the aging of stem cells and the mechanisms by which this process can be reversed to prepare high-quality therapeutic cells.
