Ended a jam-packed day at #ORS2025 with talks from @thehopefulscie1 and others to discuss interdisciplinary approaches to solutions for OA👏
I am constantly inspired by Hope, who presented on the metabolome of knee OA patients following 18-mo weight loss interventions #ORSSMC

Starting #ORS2025 with a phenomenal talk from @SadeWill93 on how #aging and the immune system alter and magnify IVD in both males and females, and more so, how #pain fits into this complex relationship 👏🏼🧬

The first paper from PhD student @MaxineOlson27 is out. She developed an algorithm to distribute a ground reaction force into multiple vectors to allow for calculation of midfoot and ankle moments using standard clinical gait lab equipment.

Excited to share our Year in Review on Molecular #Biomarkers of #Osteoarthritis 🎉
We dive into recently published gene, protein, & metabolite biomarkers across joints & sample types. Big strides made, but there’s still work to do! Early detection awaits! @ronjune2 @OACJournal

Fantastic work by @ArinOestreich and @NHarasymowicz and team - did you know that what your parents ate before you were born will affect your bone health?
