Her study was titled, “Sustained inhibition of CC-chemokine receptor-2 via intraarticular deposition of polymeric microplates in post-traumatic osteoarthritis.”
The results of this research not only validate the importance of local CCR2 targeting in preventing the joint structural damage following injury, but also confirm the biodegradable microplates as successful drug carriers for therapeutic purposes in arthritis.
Joining Dr. Longobardi on this project were several colleagues, including Dr. Huseyin Ozkan, and Helen Willcockson.
