About This Project
We study a special group of Stem Cells that reside in the Bone Marrow called mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). We believe that the MSC are deficient in patients with a failing hip or knee implant. We hope that a close examination of these stem cells will allow us to develop therapies that could prolong the life of a failing implant.
