Highlights

1. Conducting research into the pathophysiology of children’s growth plate and bone injury repair and its molecular regulation.

2. Examining the potential function and action mechanisms of neurotrophins, particularly neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) in regulating the osteogenesis, angiogenesis, osteoclastogenesis and chondrogenesis during growth plate and bone injury repair in rats.

3. Investigating the interactions between NT-3 and other growth factors such as bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) during in vitro skeletal cell formation.
