Aarhus Universitet har fundet de første syv forskere til innovation- og forskningsprogrammet Distinguished Senior Innovators (DSI) – det første af sin art i Danmark.
De nyudnævnte Distinguished Senior Innovators skal ikke kun frembringe banebrydende forskning, men også sætte sig i spidsen for at vise, hvordan akademisk excellence og innovation går hånd i hånd. Som ambassadører for videnskabelig innovation skal de demonstrere kombinationen af dyb videnskabelig indsigt og iværksætterånd.Beskrivelse

This project considers knee mechanobiology in particular how defects to joint surfaces alters the condition for cells in the cartilage under load. The project is part of a controlled clinical medicinal trial investigating the clinical impact of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in patients with mild-moderate knee osteoarthritis. After intraarticular knee injection we follow the patients for two years to observe the MSCs improving effects on knee pain and functionality and to detect any cartilage regeneration.Beskrivelse

Recent research has shown that living cells react in a very refined manner to mechanical forces exchanged with their surroundings. In this project, we will devise tools to help answering the question:
how do cells react to variations in the microstructural geometry of their environment?
To this end, we will combine and develop approaches from Mechanobiology, Materials Science, Stereology and Stochastic Geometry.Beskrivelse

The rising use of biologic drugs has increased the demand for alternative gastric administration methods. Inception of devices engineered to insert medication into the mucosal lining overcomes limitations of traditional administration methods. Mechanical forces from such microneedle insertions can affect tissue and cellular behavior, particularly mechanotransduction markers. This project measures biomechanics properties and investigates the effects of microneedle insertions into gastric tissue to inform the design of alternative drug delivery devices.Beskrivelse
