MSSE’s 2025 Paper Of The Year is one of those papers that represent the highest standard of research excellence - demonstrating rigorous methodology, meaningful scholarly contribution and measurable impact across the fields of sports medicine and exercise science. It reflects both a highly selective publication process and a final vetting by our editorial board. Learn about & read the paper: okt.to/Er2KW5

Calling all OA, Biomechanics, Imaging folks! @_mckenziew did a rigorous job here analyzing the effect of key mechanical factors (alignment, BMI) on cartilage thinning. The data support the mechanical hypothesis of knee OA, and have important implications for clinical trials.

New preprint! In 5,832 knees, BMI x varus alignment interact to drive faster medial femoral cartilage thinning - up to 243% faster at +10kg/m² and +10° varus! medrxiv.org/content/10.648… @AnthonyAGatti @SethLShermanMD @Dr_ASChaudhari 🚀

“All year we have been saying the talent is our floor but our character will determine our ceiling. And I am just so confident in their character, and that’s what determined how they played today.” Talent makes you comparable. Character makes you unforgettable.

Excited to share our findings on sex differences in muscle signaling after ACL reconstruction—females exhibit a markedly divergent transcriptomic response, with greater susceptibility to atrophy, oxidative stress, and impaired angiogenic signaling: link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Back-to-back papers from @AlexKeeble5 and @saragonzalezve . Working with @MVFranchi , we show that limb suspension and post-ACLR muscle exhibit fundamentally different muscle transcriptomic signatures. journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Respect goes to those who courageously and fearlessly compete for the love of the game. They set the standard, no matter the outcome.

🚀 Thrilled to launch DeepScholar, an openly-accessible DeepResearch system we've been building at Berkeley & Stanford. DeepScholar efficiently processes 100s of articles, demonstrating strong long-form research synthesis capabilities, competitive with OpenAI's DR, while running up to 2x faster! Try it out: deep-scholar.vercel.app

SAM3 video tracking is so good yesterday: collect data, train custom object detector, use tracker to estimate object motion - days today: track anything with text prompt - seconds

I asked Gemini 3 Pro to create a 3D LEGO editor. In one shot it nailed the UI, complex spatial logic, and all the functionality. We’re entering a new era.

Look forward to contributing to this webinar tomorrow for the new Skeletal Muscle Section of @ORSsociety with @GargKoyal to share work from our lab in collaboration with @jill_beveridge and Ben Proffen

The 2025 AIMI Symposium is here! Join our global community exploring how AI is transforming healthcare. Not registered? You can still sign up to attend virtually! aimi.stanford.edu/aimi25/registr… #AIMI25

@divyapradipub @LindseyLepley @riannps @stevenag04 @ORBLab_umich MRI!

@_mckenziew @LindseyLepley @riannps @stevenag04 @ORBLab_umich Interesting finding. How was quad volume measured?

And the final dissertation paper is out! A labor of love (aren’t they all…). We investigated cartilage composition after ACLR using a single graft type (BPTB). Which joint was more affected?! 👀 @LindseyLepley @riannps @stevenag04 @ORBLab_umich pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40400186/

Excited to announce our stellar speaker lineup for #AIMI2025! Join leading experts (virtually or in person) June 3 to explore AI research, clinical applications & real-world implementation. Free for students & trainees. Scholarships available until May 31. aimi.stanford.edu/aimi25

Exciting PhD opportunities available at Michigan State University! Interested? Feel free to DM or email me for more info. #PhDPosition

Check out our recent paper looking at lower limb inter-joint coordination and total support moments during walking in those with & w/o ACLR! This was a fun and interesting new analysis to learn - give it a read below! authors.elsevier.com/c/1l18Y4-6-ljkU @Derek_Pamu @riannps @ JD Dennis
