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.

: 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.awstrac…

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🦴!

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!

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

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
