Sleep matters for joint health!

In our new paper led by Dr Liz Rowlands, we studied sleep habits of 500,000 people. Osteoarthritis risk was highest with <6 hours of nightly sleep and significantly increased by shift work.

Excited for our new paper led by @KelseyHCollins. For years, we've been studying the role of systemic influences on OA and the effects of OA systemically. Here we review the concept of Osteoarthritis as a Systemic Disease. @washu_ortho_res @ShrinersStLouis @WashUMedOrtho

Congrats to Amanda Cimino and team on her latest paper in @JCRnEDITORS - she developed new synthetic chronogenetic gene circuits that allow controlled drug delivery at precise times day using various elements of the circadian clock! https://t.co/t8EqRRgW54

[Farshid Guilak @Farsh_G]

Congrats to Amanda Cimino for her latest paper creating a chronogenetic gene circuit that automatically delivers anti-inflammatory biologic drugs in response to inflammation or circadian signal! https://t.co/Y5r9VnB7tq

Obesity has a distinct impact on the progression of OA. We showed significant loss of protective synovial lining macrophages in the synovium 3 days after joint injury, with a significant restoration in normal-weight but not in obese mice https://t.co/HwcrbI3TwK @Farsh_G
