Margolis will discuss th e groundbreaking bone regeneration and cartilage research being conducted in their laboratory.\n\n \;\n\nTUCSON\, Ariz. – “The Future of Bon e and Cartilage Regeneration” will be presented Wednesday\, March 13\, 6 -7:15 p.m.\, at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson\, DuVal Audito rium\, 1501 N. Campbell Ave.\, Tucson. Free and open to the public\, the 7 5-minute presentation will include time for questions and answers.\n\n&nbs p\;\n\nUniversity of Arizona Arthritis Center Senior Scientist John Szivek \, PhD\, and UA Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery David Margolis\ , MD\, PhD\, will discuss the groundbreaking bone regeneration and cartila ge research being conducted in their laboratory. Dr. Szivek also will shar e information detailing his five-year\, $2 million grant from the U.S. Dep artment of Defense to study how to speed up bone formation using a combina tion of 3D printing and adult stem cells.\n\n \;\n\nAccording to the U .S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, more than 30 million Amer icans have osteoarthritis — the type of arthritis caused by damage or br eakdown of joint cartilage on the surface of bones — making it both the most common form of arthritis and the most common cause of disability in a dults. Approximately 6.3 million fractures occur each year in the United S tates\, costing the health-care system approximately $28 million per year\ , as reported by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the Amer ican Ambulatory Medical Care Survey.\n\n \;\n\nDuring the lecture\, Dr . Szivek will share recent results from their work to provide a scaffold s upport structure that is anchored in bone and on which high-quality cartil age can be grown. For people who have osteoarthritis\, there are no inject able therapies that will regenerate cartilage now or in the near future. T he best hope for these patients is a scaffold-based system on which cartil age is grown.\n\n \;\n\nOrthopaedic surgeon Dr. Margolis will discuss the challenges of growing cartilage\; specifically\, the cell sources to g row it and the ways to deliver the cells to patients to allow the cartilag e to grow with the right structure. He will cover what the research team a lready has accomplished: stem cell extraction development procedures\, cel l culture studies to grow tissue\, animal studies that show it is possible to grow healthy-looking cartilage\, and the most recent studies to determ ine the loading (weight bearing) that is required to produce the right kin d of cartilage for patients with arthritis.\n\n \;\n\nSeating for the lecture is limited and prior registration is requested. For more informati on or to register\, please visit the UA Arthritis Center website\, arthrit is.arizona.edu\, or call 520-626-5040 or email livinghealthy@arthritis.ari zona.edu.\n\n \;\n\nThe UA Arthritis Center offers validation of parki ng tickets for the Banner – UMC Tucson Visitor/Patient Parking Garage du ring “Living Healthy With Arthritis” lectures. Tickets can be validate d by a UA Arthritis Center staff member in the hospital lobby before or af ter the lecture.\n\n \;\n\nFor questions concerning access\, or reques ts a Sign Language interpreter or disability-related accommodations\, plea se contact Tracy Shake\, 520-626-5040\, email: livinghealthy@arthritis.ari zona.edu. \;\n\n \;\n\nThe lecture is part of the “Living Health y with Arthritis” series of free monthly talks presented by the UA Arthr itis Center at the UA College of Medicine – Tucson and supported through the Susan and Saul Tobin Endowment for Research and Education in Rheumato logy.\n\n \;\n\nAbout Drs. Szivek and Margolis\n\nJohn Szivek\, PhD\, is a professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and holds the Will iam and Sylvia Rubin Endowed Chair in Orthopaedic Research. He is director of the Robert G. Volz\, MD\, Orthopaedic Research Laboratory\, a senior s cientist in the UA Arthritis Center\, and holds professorships at the UA B IO5 Institute\, in the UA Department of Biomedical Engineering and in the UA Physiological Sciences Interdisciplinary Graduate Program. He also is a n adjunct professor in the UA aerospace and mechanical engineering and mat erials science and engineering departments. Dr. Szivek’s main research i nterest involves understanding the relationship between physical activity and bone and cartilage formation. His additional research interests includ e orthopaedics\, including bone remodeling\, and bone and cartilage tissue engineering. His projects include measurement of mechanical loads on long bones and joints\, studies of how implants interact with native tissues\, such as bone and cartilage\, and the mechanical properties of various mus culoskeletal structures.\n\n \;\n\nDavid S. Margolis\, MD\, PhD\, is a n assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery in the UA C ollege of Medicine - Tucson. He received his bachelor’s degree in chemis try\, master’s degree in physiological sciences\, doctorate in physiolog ical sciences and medical degree\, all at the University of Arizona. Dr. M argolis' research interests include combining cutting-edge technologies in engineering\, medical imaging\, physiology and molecular biology to devel op treatment strategies for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration. He works collaboratively on translating the novel biomaterial and implantable senso rs produced in the laboratory into clinical use for patients.\n\n\n\nAbout the University of Arizona Arthritis Center\n\nThe University of Arizona A rthritis Center\, a Center of Excellence at the UA College of Medicine – Tucson\, is a research leader with a focus on identifying the causes of a rthritis and developing improved diagnosis\, measurement and treatment of the disease.
