Cellular Mechanisms Mediating Therapeutic Radiation Damage to Bone: A common complication following focal radiation therapy for soft tissue sarcoma is late-onset insufficiency fracture of the 骨. While radiation-induced morphological changes to the 骨 have been documented, these changes alone do not explain the increased risk for fragility fracture. 采用小鼠后肢局灶性辐照模型, 我们已经记录了一个早期的, transient increase in osteoclast numbers followed by persistent loss of osteoclasts long-term, 以及辐照后骨基质的大量改变. These alterations in osteoclast number correlate temporally with loss of trabecular 骨. Persistence of poor quality 骨 matrix post-irradiation highlights the importance of retaining functional osteoclast and osteoclast progenitor cell populations long-term. We are characterizing this radiation-induced progenitor cell damage and osteoclast dysfunction, and investigating potential preventative pharmacologic interventions. (资助:鲍德温基金会)
Biochemical and Mechanical Alterations to Bone Following Radiotherapy: Radiation-induced 骨骼脆弱 is best explained using a model that assumes embrittlement of 骨's material properties following radiation. We hypothesize that this embrittlement may occur through biochemical alterations to the organic matrix and alterations to mineral crystallinity. 利用拉曼光谱, 机械测试, 晚期糖基化终产物积累的评估, we are exploring time and location-dependent biochemical alterations to 骨 following radiation therapy.

Novel Biomaterials for Stabilization and Repair of Critically Sized Bone Defects: We are investigating the use of novel shape-memory 聚合物 scaffolds and electrospun shape-memory 聚合物 sleeves as methods of rapidly stabilizing 骨 defects, 粉碎性骨折重建, and delivering antimicrobial and osteoinductive agents to facilitate autologous repair long-term. We have completed preliminary testing of this technology in a mouse femoral defect model, and are scaling up to larger animal models for eventual human application.
