Whew, what a week! And what a great group of bioengineering Ph.D. students! That's a wrap for #ImpactWeek at the #KnightCampus. The bootcamp may be over, but the personal and professional growth will continue! fal.cn/3s7UM

What I learned from my first bioengineering conference that has nothing to do with bioengineering, a 🧵 1/10

It was a great day of science at #OregonBioengineeringSympsoium!!! Lab members Julia Harrer, Yan Carlos Pacheco, and Harper McClain did an excellent job presenting on new bone and muscle regen strategies

While surgical induction of post-traumatic osteoarthritis remains a valuable research tool, there's a need to develop non-invasive methods to better model some systems. Read below about NIKI aiming to do just this: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… #BioE610

Are you attending #BMES2022 and want to learn more about career opportunities at the #KnightCampus, a billion-dollar initiative designed to fast-track scientific discoveries. Check out our recruitment page and visit us during the conference at booth 455. fal.cn/3sGE6

#KnightCampusBioE PhD students Nicholas Pancheri DeShea Chasko Madeline J. Martin David Frey Dieter Karly Mei Fear had loads of fun this week sharing some #Bioengineering knowledge with elementary and middle schoolers and their parents at the S.P.I.C.E open house!

Disease modifying drugs are a core aim of current osteoarthritis research. Here, a recent study demonstrates the potential efficacy of protease-inhibiting drugs on reducing OA severity in rats: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #BioE610

Thank you for hosting us today Oregon State University, great to be able to share our classes in the field of #Bioengineering. Parisa Hosseinzadeh, Adam Higgins, Morgan B Giers, Nick Willett Paul Dalton. Knight Campus students got extra lucky, having our very own captain piloting our vehicle!

Fresh off the press! This fascinating article aims to help elucidate cellular mechanisms regulating osteoarthritis. Here, the Runx family is evaluated in three OA in vivo models. Worth a read! nature.com/articles/s4146… #BioE610

Another recent OA article here! OA is a complex, multi-system disease, and yet cross-talk between these systems remains poorly characterized. This article adds novel perspective to the relationship between obesity and OA: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #BioE610

Congrats Yan Carlos Pacheco on completing his 4th term presentation! Now out celebrating the milestone

Biological therapies to modify osteoarthritis hold promise, yet we know relatively little about the mechanisms through which they act. This new article connects MSC injection to suppressed cartilage degradation: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19… #BioE610

Many novel osteoarthritis interventions fail at translating to the clinic. This review discusses selecting the proper in vivo model to measure specific outcomes to improve clinical translatability: #BioE610 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34536528/

U of I classes cancelled Nov. 14 to honor student victims.

A primary aim of current osteoarthritis treatment is pain reduction, yet this area is often under appreciated in benchside OA research. Here, mechanisms of common analgesics are reviewed in OA: #BioE610 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
