A degenerative disease of the joints, #osteoarthritis affects 50% of people over 65, with the biopsychosocial impact often overlooked. I'm grateful to be a part of the fight against this debilitating disease. https://t.co/EKRgcFIt1F

[OARSI Early Career Investigators @OARSI_ECI]

Monthly #OARSI ECI Publication: @Amandality and her team identified miR-126-3p as a promising biomarker for knee #OA. It reduces angiogenesis and mitigates disease severity, supporting its potential as a therapeutic target.

@Farsh_G @NatureComms Thanks Farsh and right back at you with the chronogenetics paper!

[Dr. Amanda Ali @Amandality]

Excited to share our research on microRNA-126-3p in @NatureComms! We found this microRNA is elevated in four knee osteoarthritis cohorts and show in an animal model that it reduces the severity of knee osteoarthritis - at least in part via angiogenesis. https://t.co/maiOg8klK3

@FZaucke @NatureComms Thank you Dr. Zaucke, that means so much!

Loving this Christmas gift from my lab 🎁 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

[Dr. Amanda Ali @Amandality]

Congratulations to Reshani, an outstanding DLSPH student @UofT_dlsph previously working with Osvaldo Espin-Garcia @WesternU, Jackie Whittaker @jwhittak_physio and I to better understand physical activity patterns in those with knee osteoarthritis.

New publication alert! 📣 A team effort by Amanda Ali, Johanne Martel-Pelletier, & Osvaldo Espin-Garcia using integrated machine & deep learning to undercover microRNAs associated with knee osteoarthritis structural progression, now in @OACJournal here: https://t.co/N40URTA6hq

[Dr. Amanda Ali @Amandality]

Comparison of definitions of early knee osteoarthritis for likelihood of progression at 2-year and 5-year follow-up: the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study… “Most knees with early OA are stable and do not progress.” Nice work ⁦@rheum_cat⁩ et al.! https://t.co/hzCJ7K0UHw

[Dr. Amanda Ali @Amandality]

Grateful to be part of such a stellar team alongside Osvaldo Espin-Garcia @WesternU working on methods to improve our interpretation of genetic and epigenetic traits associated with #osteoarthritis - find our recent publication in @OACJournal here: https://t.co/SQ9kZghtZK

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Remembering the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie.

Curie was born #OnThisDay in 1867.

Restricting sugar exposure in the first two years of life can meaningfully reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood.

We need to rethink many cereals, snacks, and treats for children.

[Dr. Jackie Whittaker @jwhittak_physio]

Did you know that ~50% of people that have a knee injury will develop #osteoarthritis within ~10 years? More importantly did you know there are things you can do about it? @soarknee @Aging_SMART @Arthritis_ARC

The 2024 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun, who discovered microRNAs, a class of tiny RNA molecules that help to control how genes are expressed in multicellular organisms. Read the @Nature article. https://t.co/Hc9wuaQY3s

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros ✨

This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee.

[Dr. Amanda Ali @Amandality]

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2024 - https://t.co/CNGkkOdfQd ... jointly to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation!

I'm privileged to be studying the role of #microRNAs in #osteoarthritis.
