Please go check out our Orthopaedic Research Society posters Fri-Tues that highlight excellent OA & tendon collaborations from our lab The Schnabel Lab (poster 2070) and the Matt Fisher lab (poster 1248). Hope everyone enjoys the annual meeting! #ORS2023

We are Dallas bound! The Bonassar Lab is thrilled to share our work at #ORS2023. Check out the presentations below to learn more about the ongoing work in our lab 😊🔬 Orthopaedic Research Society ORS Spine Section ORS Meniscus Cornell BME

Make sure to meet our talented post-doc Rebecca Irwin and veterinary research student Kaylee Montney at Orthopaedic Research Society 2023 annual meeting:

A research study led by #CornellVet's Dr. Michelle Delco (Delco Lab) may offer a new explanation of how stem cells can prevent cartilage loss and chronic pain after joint injury, which could pave the way for new arthritis treatments in animals and humans.vet.cornell.edu/news/20230210/…

A cell videoed through a microscope. DNA (cyan), mitochondria (yellow), and VASP (magenta) are shown. #CellBiology

Very proud of Rebecca Irwin for participating in Gordon Research Conferences #cartilageGRC and bringing home a poster session award! We’re quite jealous of her views from the conference center. #GRC

Congrats to Caroline Thompson (linkedin.com/in/carolinebik…) on her NYSTEM-funded Stem Cell Program training fellowship! She will be collaborating with Delco Lab to enhance mitochondrial transfer from MSCs for arthritis therapy. #SupportNYSTEM Cornell BME #osteoarthritis #mitochondria

Proud to have my 3rd #scicomm article for Cornell Research & Innovation feature the work of a dedicated and diversity-promoting graduate student who studies apple genetics! research.cornell.edu/news-features/…

Delco Lab is excited to announce an interdisciplinary #postdoc position with Bonassar Lab and Lab of Atomic & Solid State Physics @ Cornell! Reach out via DM or email for more info. #orthoresearch

Flashback to the 2024 International Gap Junction Conference in Arlington! Drs. Delco and Hargitaiova presented our research on Cx43 Mediating Mitochondrial Transfer from MSCs to Chondrocytes and Cx43 role in Early Post-Traumatic OA Progression.

A new collaborative study on MRSA-infected equine wounds treated with MSCs has been published! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39367671/

Our newest exciting study of mitochondrial transfer between MSCs and chondrocytes has been published! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39390589/

Future scientists in action! Undergraduates Gianna Leon mastering cartilage histology staining techniques and Claire Ma feeding her cells. #LabLife #WomenInSTEM #SheInnovates

🔙 Flashback to #ORS2025! Dr. Michelle Delco, Dr. Kristyna Hargitaiova & Dr. Lindsay Seewald presented their exciting cartilage research. Congratulations to Dr. Hargitaiova who won the 3R Preclinical Models Award! 🏆 Thanks to our collaborators Bonassar Lab & Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS)!

📙 This study by Delco Lab (Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine) reveals how mesenchymal stem cells transfer mitochondria to chondrocytes, a key mechanism of MSC therapeutic activity. Oxidative stress boosts this transfer, with the Cx43 isoform GJA1-20k playing a major role. ➡️stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Less than 2 weeks until Delco Lab presents our work on mitochondria-targeted therapies at the Mitochondrial Transplantation & Next Gen Therapeutics meeting at Hofstra University ! Catch talks by Dr. Delco, Dr. Hargitaiova & our amazing collaborator Dr. Hazel Szeto on April 29! 💊🔥

Wrapped up an incredible week at Rood & Riddle! Now back to research, prepping for my Tuesday conference talk at Hofstra University - and yes, had to try Kentucky bourbon in the cutest horsie thermos! 🐎🥃

Just back from the first ever Mitochondrial Transplantation & Next Gen Therapeutics Conference at Hofstra University , where Drs. Delco and Hargitaiova were awarded the Mitochondrial Rising Star award and enjoyed Dr. Szeto's insightful talk! 🧬⚡🐎

Read about Dr. Hargitaiova’s path from equine clinical practice to academic research - where mitochondria meet orthopedics in the race to heal from within. 🐎🧬 🔗 ors.org/kristyna-hargi… Kristyna Hargitaiova #ORS #WomenInSTEM #Mitochondria
