Main lines of research
• Development of cell therapy and tissue engineering strategies for cartilage repair.
• Ex vivo models of cartilage defect for the evaluation of cartilage regeneration.
• Proteomic, genomic and histomorphologic studies of the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal
stem cells derived from different sources.
• Characterization of proteins and peptides as biomarkers of the cartilaginous tissue that could
ultimately be used in the monitoring of cell therapy strategies for articular cartilage defects.
