Among the issues covered in the thread on X, we also point out that critical images presented by Yang et al. show the dural vasculature and not the sinusoidal vessels of bone marrow.

A recent preprint (Yang et al., doi.org/10.1101/2025...) challenges an article from my lab published in 2024 (Koh et al. 2024, PMID: 39537918). We strongly dispute their claims (please see our comment on bioRXiv).

Degeneration and Impaired Resilience of Skull Bone and Hematopoietic Bone Marrow

Bone marrow health is central to transplantations, blood formation, and cancer progression. However, the bone marrow niche deteriorates with age, impairing haematopoietic stem cell function. Contrary ...

Enjoying my first days here at Bluesky. It is pretty much as peaceful and enjoyable as Twitter in its early days.
