Joint Group :

  • Cohort study of hip fracture patients
  • Molecular mechanisms underlying cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis
  • Development of artificial ligament
  • Growth and differentiation signaling, and regulatory mechanisms underlying cartilage and rotator cuff tear

Spine Group :

  • Molecular mechanisms underlying osteoporosis development
  • Molecular mechanisms of degeneration and hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum in lumber canal stenosis
