Summary:
Treena Arinzeh, PhD, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at NJIT, is researching the use of stem cells to induce bone repair. Her research will help diabetics whose impaired bones will not properly heal. She is using adult stem cells, in combination with allografts – donated bone tissue - to regenerate and repair the patients’ damaged bones. She is performing tests on diabetic animals, after which she’ll test patients at the clinical level.
