From the Research
Dr. Jonathan Schoenecker's basic science orthopedic presentation covers a wide range of topics related to bone development, growth plate physiology, fracture healing, and the role of inflammation in musculoskeletal repair, with a focus on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of musculoskeletal tissue formation, injury response, and healing processes. His presentation specifically addresses the interactions between bone biomaterials and stem cells, including the development of ideal biomaterials with suitable biological and mechanical properties, the construction of a cell microenvironment, and the induction of oriented differentiation of stem cells for artificial-to-biological transformation 1. The presentation also explores the use of platelet-rich plasma and mesenchymal stem cells to promote bone regeneration, including the methods for producing platelet-rich plasma, the growth factor profiles derived from platelet-rich plasma, and the potential advantages of combining platelet-rich plasma with mesenchymal stem cells 2. Some of the key topics covered in the presentation include:
- Bone development and growth plate physiology
- Fracture healing and the role of inflammation in musculoskeletal repair
- The interactions between bone biomaterials and stem cells
- The use of platelet-rich plasma and mesenchymal stem cells to promote bone regeneration
- The clinical applications of basic science principles in pediatric orthopedics, including the treatment of growth plate injuries, developmental dysplasia, and fracture non-unions. Dr. Schoenecker's presentation provides insight into how basic science research informs clinical practice and potential future therapeutic approaches, with a focus on improving patient outcomes and quality of life 3.
