@amandality.bsky.social and her team identified miR-126-3p as a promising biomarker for knee #OA. It reduces angiogenesis and mitigates disease severity, supporting its potential as a therapeutic target.

Exciting research presented by @orthoengineer.bsky.social at the ICRS meeting in Boston. More innovation in the #osteoarthritis and #ACL reconstruction space brought to you by @hfhs-bjc.bsky.social researchers! #orthosky
Fantastic time at the 18th World Congress of the International Cartilage Regeneration & Joint Preservation Society in Boston. Presented our work on IDO-1 and #Kynurenines in #osteoarthritis, and a project focused on improved healing in #ACL reconstruction. As always - huge thanks to the team!

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

Strong work Thomas and the Ali Lab!
Excellent presentation by Research Associate Thomas Wilson from the Ali Lab @hfhs-bjc.bsky.social at the 9th annual Musculoskeletal Health Symposium @uofmichigan.bsky.social! Grateful for the opportunity to share our research on the podium and to connect with fantastic MSK Twitter colleagues IRL.

New Publication Alert! Bone & Joint Center researchers @orthoengineer.bsky.social and @eriebaker.bsky.social along with colleagues from several institutions just published a study in the American Journal of Sports Medicine on a new regenerative medicine strategy to improve rotator cuff repair!
Our paper on enhancing the repair of #RotatorCuff tears using pharmacologic methods to recruit endogenous MSCs is out in AJSM today! The project was fun, but I can't say enough about my amazing co-authors. Read it here:

Another fantastic @henryfordhealth.bsky.social Research Symposium in the books! Inspiring to hear about all of the awesome research from across the campus. Equally amazing to hear from @boneybonebone.bsky.social of the Yeni Lab @hfhs-bjc.bsky.social talking about facet joint measurement via DTS!

New paper from Dr. Yeni, @boneybonebone.bsky.social, et al. just published in @jbiomech.bsky.social! The team used digital tomosynthesis (DTS) to quantify spinal facet joint width. They also showed that this technique can be used in vivo to dynamically observe human facet joint loading! #Orthosky

Check out the latest Nature Communications manuscript from Dr. Ali in the Bone & Joint Center! Establishing circulating microRNA-126-3p as a biomarker in human knee #osteoarthritis and demonstrating an angiogenesis-driven protective effect in an animal model. Small RNAs with big implications!
Excited to share our work on the small but mighty microRNA-126-3p in @naturecomms.bsky.social! We found this microRNA is elevated in four knee osteoarthritis cohorts and show in an animal model that it reduces the severity of knee osteoarthritis - at least in part via angiogenesis. rdcu.be/ebycj
