Check out our latest paper regarding the age-associated changes in glutamine/glucose processing that influence ECM remodeling. Congrats to co-first authors Sam and Felicia! doi.org/10.1002/jor.26100

Coordination of Glucose and Glutamine Metabolism in Tendon Is Lost in Aging

Tendinopathy is a chronic, degenerative disease that has increased prevalence in aged populations, and is characterized by a loss in extracellular matrix (ECM) integrity. Recent work has clearly...

An early holiday treat from our group! We found that metabolic processing of glucose and glutamine are important for ECM synthesis and could be a key piece of why we have less efficient tissue maintenance in aging! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Coordination of Glucose and Glutamine Metabolism in Tendon is Lost in Aging

Tendinopathy is an age-associated degenerative disease characterized by a loss in extracellular matrix (ECM). Since glucose and glutamine metabolism is critical to amino acid synthesis and known to...

We're thrilled to be heading to BMES in Baltimore this week! Stop by the BU BME booth (#500) anytime during the conference to chat with our program officials about our degree offerings, research strengths, and student community. Several faculty members will also be available to meet and greet throughout the event (see schedule below).

It's here! Check out our new paper in @AgingCell detailing our senescent explant model. Congrats to @Emmajstowe and co-authors! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Cellular senescence impairs tendon extracellular matrix remodeling in response to mechanical...

We developed a novel in vitro model of induced cellular senescence in murine tendon explants and then utilized this model to compare ECM remodeling of young, aged, and induced-senescent tendons to...

Took 1-8y off science for family during your postdoc or faculty position? Contact an NIH-funded lab to see if they will write a reentry with you. Please RT these little-known supplements: nigms.nih.gov/Research/Mecha…
