A beautifully written and devastating read. newyorker.com/culture/the-we…

How did Zhou et al. monitor the temporal profiling of lipid mediators in the synovium and tibial plateau during joint inflammation🧐? Learn out this work in this month's #EditorsChoice paper for #Basic #Science. 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @TissueHomandDis @SilviaMonteag

New Viewpoint in @TheLancetRheum : synovial inflammation may not fit into “endophenotype” boxes. We propose a continuous spectrum: biology flows in gradients, not categories. Great initiative by Clément Triaille - kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2…

@ndosie @RheumJnl @DrAiLynTan @RheumatologyUK Congratulations!

Our recent Advanced Science paper, explores the development of #magnetically augmented cartilaginous #organoids.This 4D 🧲#biofabrication approach leads to a multifaceted influence on #bioassembly, ECM organisation, 🦿gene pathways and in vivo outcome🦴! advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

⚡️Thrilled to announce that our @FWOVlaanderen project was funded! Looking fwd to further collaborate with the co-PIs @BartSmeets16 & @DimitriosSakellariou! We will explore the design of remotely controllable #organoid implants for skeletal regeneration!! @DevReg_KULeuven

Respiratory muscle dysfunction can be both a cause and consequence of respiratory failure. It is often reversible and should be diagnosed and treated. This review covers available assessment and treatment options in acute and chronic respiratory failure. bit.ly/3XZBeVa

Always dreamed of a work-out of (your) muscles in a lab? This is your chance! We have a PhD vacancy on '4D bioprinting of vascularized, myogenic tissue based on hybrid nanocomposites'. Join our Tissue Engineering Lab at KU Leuven Campus Kortrijk! kuleuven.be/personeel/jobs…

I am more than excited that our manuscript (written by @ZsJeneiLanzl and myself) has been accepted for publication👇👇👇👇👇👇 Osteoarthritis year in review 2024: biology - Osteoarthritis and Cartilage oarsijournal.com/article/S1063-…

Finally, a big shout-out and thank you to everyone who worked on this project: @AnaEscribano7 Frederique Cornelis @AstridRoover An Sermon @FredCailotto @SilviaMonteag. Thank you @FWO & @KULeuven for supporting this study! @DevReg_KULeuven @UZLeuven. rdcu.be/dXZ7l 14/14

We hope this research brings us one step closer to finding a disease-modifying therapy for osteoarthritis. Stay tuned as we explore new ways to target the Wnt-IGF1 axis in future therapeutic approaches. 13/14

New @NatureComms Publication Alert! We uncover a Wnt/IGF1 link driving joint damage in #osteoarthritis. IGF1, induced by Wnt signaling, worsens the joint disease, but IGF1 targeting could open doors to new therapie. rdcu.be/dXZ7l @SilviaMonteag @AnaEscribano7 1/14
