🚨Standard scRNA-seq often excludes cells with high mitochondrial RNA content (pMT).🚨

Work by Tran et al. investigates how exclusion of high-pMT cells affects the transcriptional landscape of knee OA synovium and explores their role in disease.

Oof 😓. 🇦🇺 AUS health demographics often parallels Canada 🇨🇦… not so great outlook. Intl. #osteoarthritis research community: let’s go! 📈

Out now in @TheLancetRheum - our new arthritis projections for Australia

@ArthritisAust @Monash_SPHPM @RachelleBuchbin @danielleberko

➡️ 3.11 million people living with OA by 2040
➡️ almost $10 billion of health system expenditure for OA by 2040

Well said @ronjune2 this is helpful insight

[Ron June @ronjune2]

Wanted to add a bit about this paper...I learned a ton! First, there is some very good OA biomarker work out there, led by the Krauss Lab at Duke.

Also, almost 50% of the papers were papermill crap. Written with/exclusively by AI using public data and not contributing...

A total honour! You will all do great things in, and for the world. Science + medicine 💜🩺 🧬

Should we be striving to prevent STD (synovial tissue damage) in #osteoarthritis trials? 📣

[Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Journals @OACJournal]

Interesting findings in this month's @OACJournal 🚨

Worse histopathological scores for synovial tissue damage is associated with more pain in late-stage knee OA ➡️

Inflammation is bad. What if synovial tissue damage is even worse? In our new study, ⁦@HollyPhilpott14⁩ and the #WOREO team discover a link between synovial tissue damage and worse OA pain. ⁦@WOBL_Western⁩ ⁦@westernuBJI⁩ ⁦@WesternU⁩ https://t.co/RKw9kNdReq

Alright #MedTwitter What’s your differential for knee pain? Let’s do this! ⬇️ #osteoarthritis

[Rheum Cat @rheum_cat]

As part of our @oarsinews Early-stage symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (#EsSKOA) initiative:
Our goal is to identify common conditions considered in the differential diagnosis of #EsSKOA.

Take the survey here: https://t.co/7W7DhShDFM
Closes May 20, 2024
