Best way to celebrate International Women in Sciene Day and my Birthday 🎂: spending time with friends and colleagues at the #ORS2025 meeting in sunny Phoenix

attending #ORS2025 in Phoenix? Don’t miss our workshop about the impact of psychological stress on the musculoskeletal system.

I will show our data about how stress in different life phases (during pregnancy, prenatal, childhood, ) could affect your bones 🦴 and the influence of the gut microbiome 🦠

🌟 Excited to share our latest research about the influence of chronic stress during childhood/adulthood on bone and how a Mycobacterium is able to resolve it! 🌟

We have a very cool new system to analyze mouse movements, behavior and wellbeing! The Blackbox! Super important for musculoskeletal research.

Save the date for our MuSkITYR symposium 2025! The perfect place for early career scientists and clinicians to give their first talk, but also advanced researchers are welcome! Mentoring sessions included!

Does someone has a .stl file from a whole mouse skeleton based on microCT data and willing to share it? We can’t find ours since we experienced a loss of old CT data on our sever.

A quick introduction as there is a mass migration to Bluesky at the moment: Hi, I am Melanie, apl. professor for orthopedic and trauma research! Bone is my passion, as it is such a fascinating organ which interacts with so many other tissues in the human body. Movement is life, not only for bone!

My first post on blue sky ☺️

We had some illustrious guest at the Institute of Orthopeadic Research and Biomechanics today! Jerome Guicheux, Catherine Le Visage and team, thanks for your great talks about regenerative medicine in the skeleton!
