Another great publication from @amandality.bsky.social and team! Sure does make one reconsider the old "wear and tear" hypothesis about #osteoarthritis. Exciting times in OA research!

Truly an honor to be invited by #OARSI and @oacjournal.bsky.social to summarize all the amazing work in the genetics, genomics, and epigenetics of #osteoarthritis over the last year. A tough job with many great papers not included, but our review is now online: www.oarsijournal.com/article/S106...

All the right pieces in all the wrong places (also how I write grants).

Kudos to Postdoc Madhu Baghel who led this project applying a custom sequencing analysis pipeline that included discovery of novel microRNAs in early-stage osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, laying a foundation for future biomarker studies. Read our paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Henry Ford Health Bone & Joint Center has a storied history with microCT imaging of MSK tissues, thanks primarily to Dr. Yeni's group. Today we took a large leap forward with the installation of a brand new Scanco MicroCT-90 system! #orthopaedics #imaging #bone #cartilage
