Bioengineering Activities at the New York Orthopaedic Hospital Research Laboratory

Abstract

The studies described above are representative of the Laboratory's long-standing dedication to the philosophy of multi-disciplinary research. Results from these studies will continue to provide new insights as to the function of diarthrodial joints, articular cartilage and other hydrated soft tissues. It appears reasonable to expect that in the years ahead we will have a better understanding of the mechanisms behind histomorphogenesis, growth, functional adaptation, regeneration, ageing and degeneration of connective tissues and osteoarthritis resulting from these investigations being conducted at the New York Orthopaedic Hospital Research Laboratory.
