Introduction to the OSL
The Orthopaedic Science Laboratories (OSL) broadly examines how bone responds to physical stimuli, both small and large. We use multi-disciplinary approaches to examine basic cellular signaling pathways at levels ranging from gene expression changes in response to mechanical loading (or lack thereof) to use of complex adaptive systems biology to study the integrated behaviors of osteocyte/osteoblast networks. We are currently focused on exploring how neuroskeletal interactions modulate bone adaptation and regeneration.
