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. @AHHuangLab @OrthoColumbia @WeinbergCP

Excited to share our work where we demonstrate an important role of regulatory T cells in mediating functional tendon regeneration @GiuliaCrosio @AHHuangLab @OrthoColumbia @ORSsociety science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
Functional tendon regeneration is driven by regulatory T cells and IL-33 signaling

Functional tendon regeneration is driven by regulatory T cells and IL-33 signaling

Neonatal Treg cells enable tendon regeneration by generating a favorable immune environment.

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.

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)
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%).

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
