Is there anything TRPV4 can't do? Our paper just out in @StemCellsJournl by Vince Willard shows that #TRPV4 is not just a marker of chondrogenesis, it also regulates it in #iPSCs! w/ Holly Leddy, Daniel Palmer, Chia-Lung Wu, & Wolfgang Liedtke @Regeneron stemcellsjournals.onlinelibr…

Can cells be rewired to deliver on-demand drugs that fight fluctuating #inflammation? We bioengineered anti-cytokine implants using #CRISPR #synbio that mitigated #arthritispain, #jointdamage, bone erosion and inflammation in mice: bit.ly/2WDmSwQ @Farsh_G @WUSTL_Rheum

Wonderful review led by @mollyklimak is now out - surveying the latest advances in immunoengineered technologies for treating arthritis.
Congrats to @mollyklimak! Her review on “Immunoengineering the next generation of arthritis therapies” is now out in @ActaBio! Here we review some of the newest cellular, gene, and biomaterial approaches for immunoengineering to treat OA or RA. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

And here is the press release on @WhasilL's paper on Piezo sensitization in chondrocytes by IL-1! Excited to see where she next takes this project in her lab! news-medical.net/news/202103…

Great new paper by @WhasilL showing how inflammation provokes cellular mechanosensitivity through Piezo1. Great working with Wolfgang Liedtke’s lab, @mcnultylab, @AliSavadipour, @Farsh_G
Congrats to Dr Whasil Lee @WhasilL for her latest #Piezo paper out in @PNASnews!!! She showed IL-1 enhances Piezo1 function, making chondrocytes more sensitive to loading. Great collab with Liedtke lab @MaybeItsBob @AliSavadipour @mcnultylab & others pnas.org/content/118/13/e200…

OK I found my words. I am howling with rage tonight at the rising tide of violence and hate crimes directed towards Asians in America, punctuated by the horrific shootings yesterday in Georgia at 3 Asian-owned business that claimed 8 lives, including those of 6 Asian women.

At NIH, @KizzyPhD says: "When we got those sequences, because we knew how to make that protein as a very good vaccine, we did that really quickly over the weekend." @POTUS: "Over the weekend." @KizzyPhD: "Over the weekend. You know something about working on weekends, right?"

Incredible study by @NHarasymowicz getting at the whodunnit of obesity induced inflammation - excited to see where this work goes!
Forget about M1 and M2 macrophages from now! Our recent comprehensive description of myeloid cells found in adipose tissue is out. With the use of #scRNAseq, #flowcytometry we found >10 myeloid populations in #fat. Six of them were altered during #obesity faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…
