Excited to kick off a full day of exciting musculoskeletal research! ⁦Center for Musculoskeletal Research⁩ ⁦NIAMS⁩

Kicking off the 9th Annual Musculoskeletal Research Symposium with over 29 institutions represented from the New England area!

A wonderful Q&A with Ridhima Seth after she presented “PTH signaling in Ctsk+ lineage cells is critical for skeletal homeostasis and tooth formation and eruption”

Jared Whitlock from NICHD kicking off the Musculoskeletal Research Symposium’s oral abstract presentations with “Getting to the "wrong" place at the right time: A Redox switch directs La protein to the osteoclast surface, promoting multinucleation and bone resorption” NIAMS

Another fantastic presentation by Jakob Hoeppner from MGH: “Unravelling the Pathophysiology of Eiken Syndrome: Deciphering the Role of the PTH Receptor's C-Tail in Enchondral Ossification and Bone Mineral Homeostasis” NIAMS

Byron Chan (MGH) closes the morning oral abstract presentations session with “Ebf3-expressing osteoblast progenitors contribute to homeostatic bone remodeling and intermittent parathyroid hormone-induced bone formation” NIAMS

Our first keynote presentation: “Fibrous Dysplasia/McCune-Albright Syndrome: Interplay of osteoclast/osteoblast function” @AlisonBoyceMD presented her incredible work in FD that has generated great conversation during the Q&A!

Poster session in full swing at the 9th Annual Musculoskeletal Research Symposium. With 59 posters, there is a lot to discover! RT and let us know whose poster you visited or one cool thing that you learned. ⬇️

Sihan Liu kicking off our afternoon session with a great presentation on “Macrophage-derived Wnt5a Promotes Osteoarthritis by Disrupting T cell Balance”

The high bar set by our morning talks continues! Gabrielle Gilmer, PhD walked us through an impressive body of work in “Loss of estradiol and progesterone with menopause drives cartilage degeneration via chondrocyte senescence and extracellular matrix disassembly”

Great science continues! We just heard from Tadatoshi Sato in his talk entitled “Recombinant AAV9-mediated gene editing in Osteogenesis Imperfecta” 🦴 🧬 ✂️

What a great way to end our symposium! Sundeep Khosla took us on a tour of his group’s extensive body of work in his keynote presentation entitled “Sympathetic tone and cellular senescence: Leveraging integrative physiology for new osteoporosis treatments”

Thank you to our keynote speakers @AlisonBoyceMD and Sundeep Khosla! That’s a wrap on our 2024 symposium!
