Another example of the outstanding scientists driving our research forward!

Yet another award for UMPhysiology grad student Lindsey Lammlin! We are all so proud of the work she's doing to understand inflammatory mechanisms in OA.

2022 Michigan Integrative Musculoskeletal Health Core Center meeting.

Tristan Maerz UMPhysiology It’s always a fun day when I get to share the awesome work that we are doing!🤩

I may have missed the PhD hooding ceremony (thanks covid), but we re-enacted it today at the Penn biopond. Thank you to Robert Mauck for dressing up a second time, Sereen S Assi for capturing the moment, and the many turtles for serving as the audience 🐢.

Curious how exercise, bone, and horses go together? Check out this new paper published in Journal of Orthopaedic Research® where researchers found that exercise history predicts differences in bone volume fraction, mineral density, and others in racehorses. 🐎

These are amazing young scientists doing terrific work. Thanks to my scientific partner Tristan Maerz for always being there as a mentor! Prost!

Grateful & honored to be promoted to Professor of Pathobiology Penn Penn Vet. Absolutely couldn't have done this without the incredible partnership of Dr. Sunny Shin, a brilliant scientist, amazing mom, wonderful wife, & partner on this journey for the past 20+ years🥰

Thanks to Tristan Maerz Alexander Knights and Chia-Lung Wu for 'carrying' me, an aging scientist, into the scRNAseq world!

Come one, come all! This is our chance to make the ORS community even better. As a member of the DEI Committee, I *will* be listening to you.

I am so proud of my two PhD students/postdocs Lena Steppe and Dr. Miriam Tschaffon-Müller for winning a Travel Award and a New Investigators Award at #ECTS2022 !! The future is bright in #orthoresearch #boneresearch

Scrubbed into one of my last Mauck Lab surgeries today with a strong 💪🏻 group of women across vet med (@NatalieFogart13), ortho surg (Kendall Masada), and engineering (@SereenSAssi1) 🤩 #orthotwitter The Perry Initiative

Using 3D Genomics we conclude a subset of sleep-associated loci confer their effects via pancreatic α- and β-cells. Co-first authors Chiara Lasconi & Matt Pahl, and collaborators Alessandra Chesi Andrew Wells Klaus H. Kaestner. CHOP Research Penn Genetics

BREAKING: New research from the Maerz and Hankenson labs! We uncovered distinct synovial fibroblast subsets in post-traumatic osteoarthritis and showed that lining fibroblasts secrete the Wnt agonist R-spondin 2, which drives pathological joint crosstalk. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share Hugh’s big news about moving to Cambridge for the next few years! He worked really hard and had amazing teachers and support from Friends Select and the East Lansing Public Schools Dori Leyko. Huge thanks to everyone for guidance through the process!

#AIMM2022 Yet another awesome YI at AIMM #backtosnowmass

Bravo to Joohyun (Jason) Lim and Diego Grinman the brave first two young investigator speakers at #AIMM2022 . Tradition dictates that questions (and interruptions) come fast and furious but they kept their cool and gave outstanding talks! 😎

Thank you Cornell BMES for the invitation to present The Killian & Abraham Labs research as this year's Cornell BMES lectureship!

The environment @ Cornell BME = creative, caring, supportive, and inclusive, and that is driven by the students and postdocs who create the space and push for change. 🙌

Great presentation by one of my favorite Canadians 🇨🇦 on macrophages in OA at the 2022 AIMM meeting! Thanks Tom! Tom Appleton. Collaborative work with the Tristan Maerz lab.

Excess activated neutrophils at the site of a #fracture hematoma are associated with impaired healing. ORS members demonstrated that different reaming techniques used to modify fracture uniquely altered immune cell population
