Our work interrogating chondrocyte mechanotransduction and co-opting TRPV4-signaling to develop mechanogenetic cartilage is out today in @ScienceAdvances - great team effort on this one with @LPferdehirt and the @Guilak_Lab crew! @Farsh_G https://t.co/LQcHKmVW1p

[Farshid Guilak @Farsh_G]

Is there anything TRPV4 can't do? Our paper just out in @StemCellsJournl by Vince Willard shows that #TRPV4 is not just a marker of chondrogenesis, it also regulates it in #iPSCs! w/ Holly Leddy, Daniel Palmer, Chia-Lung Wu, & Wolfgang Liedtke @Regeneron https://t.co/ydVXNcPP19

Can cells be rewired to deliver on-demand drugs that fight fluctuating #inflammation? We bioengineered anti-cytokine implants using #CRISPR #synbio that mitigated #arthritispain, #jointdamage, bone erosion and inflammation in mice: https://t.co/MCoNLJV324

Wonderful review led by @mollyklimak is now out - surveying the latest advances in immunoengineered technologies for treating arthritis.

[Farshid Guilak @Farsh_G]

Congrats to @mollyklimak! Her review on “Immunoengineering the next generation of arthritis therapies” is now out in @ActaBio! Here we review some of the newest cellular, gene, and biomaterial approaches for immunoengineering to treat OA or RA. https://t.co/730uTnBqDM

@LabBreathe @ErinCram @RR_Amini @EMERL9 So exciting!! Congratulations Hari and @LabBreathe!

[Farshid Guilak @Farsh_G]

And here is the press release on @WhasilL's paper on Piezo sensitization in chondrocytes by IL-1! Excited to see where she next takes this project in her lab! https://t.co/QoYZOv0PfJ

[MaybeItsBob @MaybeItsBob]

Great new paper by @WhasilL showing how inflammation provokes cellular mechanosensitivity through Piezo1. Great working with Wolfgang Liedtke’s lab, @mcnultylab, @AliSavadipour, @Farsh_G

[Farshid Guilak @Farsh_G]

Congrats to Dr Whasil Lee @WhasilL for her latest #Piezo paper out in @PNASnews!!! She showed IL-1 enhances Piezo1 function, making chondrocytes more sensitive to loading. Great collab with Liedtke lab @MaybeItsBob @AliSavadipour @mcnultylab & others

OK I found my words. I am howling with rage tonight at the rising tide of violence and hate crimes directed towards Asians in America, punctuated by the horrific shootings yesterday in Georgia at 3 Asian-owned business that claimed 8 lives, including those of 6 Asian women.
