The lack of good models for human tendons has made it tough to develop injury treatments. Now, scientists (Mahwish Bakht 3B's Research Group) built a 3D tendon-on-chip that mimics how tendons work at a cellular level, paving the way for better therapies. 👉ow.ly/EONq50TnS6L

‘Carla is very organised and is excellent at explaining complicated computational concepts in a way everyone can understand. She is a great example of someone who works very successfully across different departments.’

‘Jolet always has a great question to ask and helps everyone to really think about their research ideas and plans. She is excellent at teaching people in the lab and is an outstanding citizen of NDORMS.’

‘Cenk is the person to go for new ideas on how to solve common research problems! He is also an excellent teacher and provides key experimental support to many people in the lab and beyond.’

Great work by ⁦Schroeder Arthritis Institute⁩ - Mohit Kapoor and collaborators! doi.org/10.1136/ard-20…

Join us online for the Human Cell Atlas Musculoskeletal Bionetwork seminar with Dr Mohit Kapoor Schroeder Arthritis Institute We will also have an update on cell annotation celltype.info from the HCA Open to anyone interested in MSK atlases in any species! bit.ly/3zpf2dw

Thinking of doing a DPhil/PhD? In this post for NDORMS some of our team discuss PhD life in an interdisciplinary team. ndorms.ox.ac.uk/news/blog/stud… From my perspective it's hugely fun and I'm always learning!

NDORMS is known for bringing together different research disciplines. Read about the experience of studying for a DPhil within an interdisciplinary team from the perspective of a student and supervisor. ndorms.ox.ac.uk/news/blog/stud…

It is great to finally share our systematic review on structural extracellular matrix components in soft tissues in osteoarthritis! Congratulations to my co-authors Iwan Raza and Sarah Snelling. boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.130…

This systematic review consolidates existing knowledge of a poorly defined aspect of osteoarthritis pathophysiology: ECM dysregulation #BJR #ECM #Orthopedics Sarah Snelling @JoletMimpenFollow ow.ly/kSoE50UjJO8

Changes in ECM composition & architecture occur throughout non-cartilage soft tissues in the osteoarthritic joint, but most of these remain poorly defined due to the low number of studies & lack of healthy comparator groups. #BJR Sarah Snelling Jolet Mimpen ow.ly/9O4350Uv3oY

Out in this month's issue of Aging Cell. Motor neurons do better in the presence of primary human muscle cells from older exercisers vs non-exercisers 🙏Lundbeckfonden for the Ascending Investigator grant 4 years ago to see this work through doi.org/10.1111/acel.1…

✨ NEW EPISODE! ✨ Check out our new episode of AI Talks with Bone & Joint! This week, we explore a study which highlights the global nature of extracellular matrix dysregulation across the osteoarthritic joint. Listen now! #BJR Sarah Snelling Jolet Mimpen ow.ly/5f7b50Vms18

Calling clinicians, research nurses, lab scientists & bioinformaticians! Please fill out our short survey on challenges & enablers for #biobanks & #Omics research. Respondents from #GlobalSouth & #LMICs especially welcome! Human Cell Atlas @NDORMS bit.ly/41nHHex

Our literature review ⏰ that accompanies the BSMB #ECR Award is now out in The International Journal of Experimental Pathology. Well done to Ask Møbjerg and Sara Dietz Pedersen for putting it together! 💪 #tendon #translationalmedicine #circadianclock onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ie…

Did you hear? We're funding TWO projects with Sarcoma UK to improve early diagnosis! Dr Snelling & Dr Baldwin NDORMS aim to develop a blood test for earlier osteosarcoma detection 🩸 Their goal? Faster diagnosis & more treatment options. Visit: ow.ly/qchF50W2ltB

We welcome Volume 247 with this fantastic image from work by Sosa et al. This study provides the first comprehensive description of the hindlimb musculature of the Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) across different ontogenetic stages. doi.org/10.1111/joa.14…
