Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Tendons
PhD candidate Afton Limberg (pictured) is first-author with Lily Giurleo '28, Victoria Ruiz '26, PhD candidate Amritha Anup Th'23, and professors Jay Buckey, Doug Van Citters and Katie Hixon as co-authors on "In Vitro Modulation of Murine Tenocyte Behavior by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy" published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research. The study—a collaboration between Hixon Lab and DBEC—aimed to improve understanding of the effects of oxygen therapy on tendon cells and healing. "I consider tendons one of the most under-studied musculoskeletal tissues," said Limberg. "Hyberbaric oxygen presents a novel non-invasive therapy that could actually promote tendon healing, and we showed that it does have an effect on tendon cells. Next steps are to conduct both ex vivo and in vivo studies that include the full system of biomechanics."

AFIT Faculty Fellowship
Professor Wesley Marrero was selected for an Operations Research & Data Science Faculty Fellowship at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). His appointment will focus on fundamental research in sequential decision-making with applications at the DoD. The overall goal is to develop decision-support techniques that account for noncompliance with AI-driven recommendations. "By recognizing that optimal solutions may not always be adopted in practice, this work will help establish a basis for operationally-acceptable automated decision-support throughout the Air Force and Department of Defense," said Marrero.

Can Oxygen Heal Tendons?
PhD candidate Afton Limberg attended this year's Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) Annual Meeting in Charlotte, NC, where she was chosen as a finalist in the Tendon Section Elevator Pitch Competition. Her pitch was titled, "Can Oxygen Heal Tendons? Investigating Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Tendon Repair." Limberg also presented her poster, "Hyperoxia-Driven Modulation of Tendon Healing: Insights from In Vitro and In Vivo Models," based on her PhD research thesis.
