Saagar Sheth Receives CCTR Summer Fellowship

5/5/2021

Congratulations to undergrad Saagar Sheth for being awarded a Undergraduate Fellowship from the VCU Center for Clinical and Translational Research (CCTR) for his work investigating cell localization and differentiation in ligament-to-bone enthesis engineering.  Using a novel culture system we have previously shown to drive zonal enthesis tissue formation, Saagar is investigating whether ligament fibroblasts seeded into out culture system localize to specific zones of the enthesis, or whether the tensile-compressive culture environment drives their differentiation. Congrats Saagar!!

Puetzer Lab Receives AR3T Pilot Grant

2/1/2021

0 Comments

 
We are excited to announce we received an Alliance for Regenerative Rehabilitation Research and Training (AR3T) Pilot Grant entitled "Driving Zonal Stem Cell Differentiation with Developmental Mechanical Cues for Ligament-to-bone Enthesis Regeneration." This work will explore how mechanical loads, similar to those experienced during development, drive stem cells to form strong attachments to bone. This work will help to create functional ACL replacements, as well as help to shed light on way to improve ACL graft repair integration.

Dr. Puetzer Selected as an IREK12 Scholar

11/5/2020

0 Comments

 
We are excited to announce Dr. Puetzer has been accepted as an NIH Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Engineering Career Development Program (IREK12) scholar.  The program's goal is to support and mentor junior faculty interested in developing careers based in rehabilitation research. Specifically, this program will provide funding and mentorship for the Puetzer lab to take their research in how mechanical forces guide cells to create the underlying structure of tendons and ligaments, and apply that research to physical therapy to help with regeneration and repair of torn ligaments and tendons throughout the body. Click here for more information

Congratulations to undergrad Panth Doshi for being awarded a Undergraduate Fellowship from the VCU Center for Clinical and Translational Research for his work on Combating Aging-Induced Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) in Tendons with Tensile Loading! His goal is to find a loading regime which stimulates cells to breakdown AGE crosslinks that accumulate with age, helping to maintain the health of tendons.
