We study how aging rewires skeletal mechanobiology; why the same mechanical cues produce different cellular outcomes with age, and how this shift drives tissue fragility and degeneration. We test mechanisms using complementary in vitro and in vivo systems, spanning single-cell mechanophenotyping to engineered microenvironments.
