IDENTIFYING SMALL MOLECULES FOR PROTECTING CHONDROCYTE FUNCTION AND MATRIX INTEGRITY AFTER CONTROLLED COMPRESSIVE INJURY

Identifying small molecules for protecting chondrocyte function and matrix integrity after controlled compressive injury

Objective: Articular cartilage injury is central for the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA).With few disease-modifying therapies successful at offsetting progressive osteoarthritis (OA), our goal is to use a high throughput screening platform of cartilage injury to identify novel chondroprotective compounds.Targeting articular cart

Changes in the Milk Metabolome of the Giant Panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) with Time after Birth--Three Phases in Early Lactation and Progressive Individual Differences.

Ursids (bears) in general, and giant pandas in particular, are highly altricial at birth.The components of bear milks and their changes with time may be uniquely adapted to nourish relatively immature neonates, protect them from pathogens, and support the maturation of neonatal digestive physiology.Serial milk samples collected from three giant pan
