Area of Interest
Dr. Hsueh’s lab is at the forefront of translational research in musculoskeletal and aging biology, focusing on innovative therapeutic strategies for regenerating damaged joint tissues, particularly in osteoarthritis (OA). We utilize cutting-edge multi-omics technologies, advanced in vitro cell culture systems, and cartilage explant models to explore the mechanisms underlying OA pathogenesis. A major focus of our work is investigating the role of noncoding RNAs in human musculoskeletal tissues, with the goal of uncovering the signaling pathways and gene networks they influence. By leveraging this knowledge, we aim to enhance the body鈥檚 natural repair processes, developing novel approaches to slow OA progression and restore joint function.
