New preprint! Here we validate a novel model of neuromuscular contracture in the mouse that models changes in patients with cerebral palsy, and identify Smad4 as a novel target to rescue contracture formation.

Thanks so much!! These funds will be used to develop novel ortho biologics to treat deformity. Special thank you to @AHHuangLab and @OrthoColumbia for the support.
Congratulations to @VarunArvind who has been named one of @ORSsociety & @BethelMRC research fellows.
Dr. Arvind is a PGY1 resident at the New York Orthopaedic Hospital/Columbia Orthopedics. He is on the 6yr research track, having completed his year-long research program in June.

Got bored while editing my slide deck and went through NIH Reporter to compile some statistics on all active NIH funding for different musculoskeletal tissues.
Why was I not surprised but also shocked to see this 😅 @ors_tendon #TeamTendon (solidarity with @OrsMeniscus)
ALT A pie chart of all active NIH funding for different musculoskeletal tissues, including muscle (41.37%), bone (39.00%), spine (12.74%), cartilage (4.50%), tendon & ligament (1.60%), and meniscus (0.54%).
In our April #BMEBlaze spotlight, we loved catching up with Columbia BME alumna (BS '03) and current @OrthoColumbia professor Alice Huang @AHHuangLab as she reminisced about her journey from @ColumbiaBME student to professor!

Congratulations @GiuliaCrosio on your first paper from the lab! Check out her @eCM_Journal review on immune cells in tendon healing, complementing @VarunArvind review last year on immune cytokines.
Excited to share our work that explores how differences in neonatal and adult immunity distinguishes tendon regeneration, and how neonatal Tregs are critical for tendon regeneration in neonates with improved tendon repair in adults treated with neonatal mouse and human Tregs
