A degenerative disease of the joints, #osteoarthritis affects 50% of people over 65, with the biopsychosocial impact often overlooked. I'm grateful to be a part of the fight against this debilitating disease. x.com/cihr_irsc/status/93516…

Monthly #OARSI ECI Publication: @Amandality and her team identified miR-126-3p as a promising biomarker for knee #OA. It reduces angiogenesis and mitigates disease severity, supporting its potential as a therapeutic target. Read the paper here: nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Excited to share our research on microRNA-126-3p in @NatureComms! We found this microRNA is elevated in four knee osteoarthritis cohorts and show in an animal model that it reduces the severity of knee osteoarthritis - at least in part via angiogenesis. rdcu.be/ebycj

Remembering the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Curie was born #OnThisDay in 1867.

Restricting sugar exposure in the first two years of life can meaningfully reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. We need to rethink many cereals, snacks, and treats for children. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Exposure to sugar rationing in the first 1000 days of life protected against chronic disease

We examined the impact of exposure to sugar restrictions within 1000 days after conception on type 2 diabetes and hypertension, leveraging quasi-experimental variation from the end of the United...

Did you know that ~50% of people that have a knee injury will develop #osteoarthritis within ~10 years? More importantly did you know there are things you can do about it? @soarknee @Aging_SMART @Arthritis_ARC
