New Publication! 📢 Dr. Sarah I. Rooney collaborated with Dr. Jenny Amos at UIUC to publish an editorial in Biomedical Engineering Education detailing the design and outcomes of the 5th Biomedical Engineering Educational Summit, held in May 2024. The Summit brought together over 300 faculty from more than 100 institutions to discuss key issues in biomedical engineering education. In the editorial, the authors share strategies for session facilitation, pre- and post-Summit training for session co-chairs, and scholarly dissemination, including tools that supported the publication of 8 peer-reviewed articles resulting from the event. The piece serves as both a behind-the-scenes look at this national convening and a practical guide for future academic event planning.

Could carrying extra weight be silently damaging your joints by drying them out from the inside? Obesity is a known risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA), but the precise mechanical reasons have remained unclear. Seeking to understand these mechanisms, researchers used a novel lab-based testing method on joint tissue to examine how sliding speed, contact stress, and tissue properties affect the tissue’s ability to rehydrate under load. They found that while elevated contact stress and prolonged loading reduced rehydration, cartilage maintained its lubricity. This suggests that sustained compression and strain, not friction, may be the key driver of dysfunction in obesity-related OA. By identifying how mechanical stress disrupts cartilage recovery, this work opens the door to new strategies for preserving joint health in people with obesity.
