NEW GRANT @SpauldingRehab! “Mechano-regulation of circulating extracellular vesicle cargoes to enhance knee joint health” will explore how mechanical forces shape circulating extracellular vesicles — and how these may help protect aging knees. These findings may help advance musculoskeletal aging research, improving the lives of over 30 million older Americans affected by knee osteoarthritis. Co-principal investigators: @IijimaHirotaka & Dr. Fabrisia Ambrosio.
