Ecosystem Event: Tufts in Translation: A Smart Way to Treat Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis remains one of the largest unmet needs in musculoskeletal medicine, with few disease-modifying options and significant challenges in achieving targeted therapeutic delivery.

On April 8, Li Zeng, PhD will present a nanoparticle system engineered to selectively localize to damaged cartilage and enable site-specific therapeutic expression — offering a precision approach designed to improve efficacy while limiting systemic exposure.

By targeting the disease microenvironment directly, this strategy introduces a differentiated pathway for advancing joint therapeutics.
