S.K. Both is a Researcher at the TechMed Centre, University of Twente, specializing in musculoskeletal regenerative medicine with 41 research outputs since 2002. Current work focuses on translational solutions for osteoarthritis through biomaterial and stem cell innovation.
Research centers on hydrogel-based delivery systems and stem cell microencapsulation for cartilage repair, with key emphases:
- Mesenchymal stem cell applications in bone and cartilage regeneration
- Material-dependent efficacy of injectable biomaterials
- Validation in canine, rat, and human cadaver models
- Translational bridging of tissue engineering and orthopedic surgery
Recent publications (2021-2025) demonstrate escalating clinical relevance, evolving from hydrogel formulation optimization to in vivo validation of stem cell therapies. The work shows increasing collaboration intensity with orthopedic surgeons and material scientists, targeting minimally invasive joint repair solutions with direct surgical applicability.
As part of the interdisciplinary TechMed Centre ecosystem, Dr. Both engages cross-departmental teams spanning bioengineering, clinical medicine, and polymer science to accelerate regenerative approaches from bench to bedside for degenerative joint diseases.
