PROJECT SUMMARY (See instructions): The Structure and composition of musculoskeletal tissues are tailored to meet their demanding functions. With injury, the structure and composition of these tissues deteriorate, resulting in a decline or loss of mechanical function. Musculoskeletal tissues each have a wide array of compositional and structural variety with respect to collagen and proteoglycan types, as well as other extracellular matrix constituents and factors. Careful description and quantification of tissue structural organization and composition, as well as localization and identification of growth factors and cytokines, are necessary requirements for elucidation of the biologic mechanisms underlying musculoskeletal integrity, injury, and repair. The overall objective of this Histology Core (HC) is to develop and utilize a wide range of histological and histomorphometric approaches to evaluate musculoskeletal tissue injury and repair, and to provide training and funding for new projects and collaborations utilizing these assays. The Specific Aims are: Aim 1: To provide guidance and training on the capabilities, advantages, and disadvantages of the various methodologies to assess musculoskeletal tissue structure and composition through formal educational enrichment programs and one-on-one interactions. Aim 2: To provide expertise and service for histological and histomorphometric assays of musculoskeletal tissues. Aim 3: To develop new histologically-based techniques that will be applicable to musculoskeletal research. Aim 4: To provide funding for development of new projects and collaborations and to develop preliminary and/or feasibility data for investigators.

项目摘要（请参阅说明）： 肌肉骨骼组织的结构和组成是为满足其苛刻功能而定制的。 随着损伤，这些组织的结构和组成恶化，导致机械功能的下降或丧失。相对于胶原蛋白和蛋白聚糖类型，以及其他细胞外基质成分和因素，肌肉骨骼组织各有各种成分和结构种类。仔细描述和定量组织结构组织和组成，以及生长因子和细胞因子的定位和鉴定，是阐明肌肉骨骼完整性，损伤和修复的生物学机制的必要要求。总体目标 组织学核心（HC）将开发和利用广泛的组织学和组织形态计量学方法来评估肌肉骨骼组织损伤和修复，并利用这些测定法为新项目和协作提供培训和资金。具体目的是：目标1：提供有关各种方法的能力，优势和缺点的指导和培训，以通过正式的教育丰富计划和一对一的互动来评估肌肉骨骼组织结构和组成。 目标2：为肌肉骨骼组织的组织学和组织学测定提供专业知识和服务。目标3：开发新的基于组织学的技术，这些技术适用于肌肉骨骼研究。目标4：为开发新项目和合作提供资金，并为调查人员开发初步和/或可行性数据。
