Very cool work showing under nutrient-limited conditions cells can still undergo glycolysis utilizing uridine. Shown in both cancer cells, primary cells, and in vivo. Wow, Metabolism is fascinating. nature.com/articles/s4225…

Wondering how your Thanksgiving dinner might affect your bones? Check out my recent review paper, outlining how metabolic substrate availability and bioenergetic pathways alter #BoneQuality and #BoneStrength! Out now in Current Osteoporosis Reports: doi.org/10.1007/s11914… 🧵1/5

This review highlights and describes our current understanding of these drugs and how they appear to have negative effects on different tissues including bone.

Gabapentin and Pregabalin are are widely used neuropathic painkillers that are often prescribed as "safe" alternatives to opioids. However, the same pathway that inhibits neural activity for pain also inhibits bone cell activity.

Happy to see our review on this important topic finally getting some attention. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36149592/?utm_…

@LilJeanGrey Lol "Ultimate cold weather challenge"

After 15 hrs of driving with a full car and a POD box, I’m Officially starting the next chapter in life: the ultimate cold climate challenge! #postdoclife

Are you also curious about fluid dynamics within bone induced by murine tibial loading? New modeling work published in #Bone predicted the effects of various loading parameters on velocity and shear stress within the lacunar-canalicular system #ORSSMC ow.ly/6l5L50J8T0z

@JoyYWu It's low-key one of the best movies of the past 5 years. Sad thing is not enough people will see it. Let's Go Short Brown!!

Loved Michelle Yeoh in ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once.’ The movie is quirky but moving. Let’s just say rocks steal the show. Plus Ke Huy Quan is back! 👏🏻👏🏻

IRMRS will host two free workshops led by international experts in the field of musculoskeletal this Tuesday, April 19 and Thursday, April 21. For more information, visit the IFMRS website here: ow.ly/IlYu50IK7BO

Yes, this….

When the science is over… Congrats to all my fellow #JohnHaddad Awardees #AIMM2022 @ASBMR @MayoClinicEndo

Aww thanks! In honor of 35+ years of the AIMM/@ASBMR John Haddad Young Investigator meeting, all current and previous YI awardees (some of us are no longer so young 😂) received these lovely pins. #AIMM2022

Celebrating the #AIMM2022 Young Investigator awardees. The future of bone and mineral research is in good hands! @ASBMR

**POSTDOC POSITION ALERT**. We are looking for a postdoc to join our team at Mizzou. Detailed job ad here: lab.drjaapnadhillon.com/join/ Plz RT! #postdoc #academiclife #research #sciencecareer #academicjobs #researchjobs #universityjobs #sciencejob #jobsearch #phdchat

Body composition changes using two different weight loss diets: 7.5% carb (left panel) & 45% carb (right panel). These presumably result in insulin differences, yet both seem to result in a similar % weight loss as fat (comparing the overall y-axis values between panels).

Looking to use #RNAseq in your #orthoresearch? Check out this nice review written by @ORSsociety members summarizing the benefits of bulk RNAseq vs. scRNAseq, and highlighting some exciting sequencing work recently published in the field. #ORSSMC ow.ly/Lxbj50I0BHI

@MichaelTom8o Bravo Sir....Bravo 🙌

Carotenoids are red Anthocyanins are blue No one really understands why they’re good for you

@ReganLBailey @patrickjstover Major Congrats Regan!!! Wow, looks like Texas is the place to be 🤩
