OBCD

The Origins of Bone and Cartilage disease project is an international collaboration identifying genetic causes of bone and cartilage disease.

So great to see OBCD alumni Ryan Chai's excellent work on single cell RNASeq on the complex endosteal cellular landscape #ANZBMS2019

The aftermath of the OBCD lab secret santa!

[Gene Of The Day @GeneOfTheDay]

Today’s #GeneOfTheDay is #Miga2. Mice with this gene inactivated exhibit decreased body weight & decreased bone mineral content: https://t.co/6dT8G0WUme

[Garvan Institute of Medical Research @GarvanInstitute]

Great to hear now from Garvan’s Prof John Eisman AO, who’s sharing the importance of the Dubbo Osteoporosis Epidemiology Study, which underpins #KnowYourBones

[Royal Osteoporosis Society @RoyalOsteoSoc]

It's #WorldOsteoporosisDay this Saturday 20 October.

#DidYouKnow #osteoporosis causes one broken bone every minute in the UK?

Have you broken a bone recently? Are you over 50? Take our #BoneHealth quiz & find out if you're at risk of osteoporosis >> https://t.co/vXcVmYvWed #WOD

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

Best of luck with the talk John!

[John Morris @johnomix]

A blog post I wrote for the @IMPC about my upcoming talk at #ASHG18! Leveraging human and mouse genetics to identify novel bone genes https://t.co/09HJsLVRDT @GeneticsSociety @Bone_Cartilage @uk_biobank

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

Lots of solid abstracts, including a few from us!

[BRS @BoneResearchSoc]

Abstracts from #BRS2018 Meeting in Winchester now available #OpenAccess in @ASBMR #JBMRPlus journal https://t.co/aIRlrpfRCg All invited, oral and poster presentations included

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

Congratulations to @Bone_Cartilage post-docs Victoria Leitch @Craniophiles and Natalie Butterfield @futurenat for being awarded @Soc_Endo Early Career Grants in the past year. £10k each to advance understanding of endocrine aspects of skeletal physiology!

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

and decreased femur density and strength (as per our high-throughput skeletal phenotyping)!

[Gene Of The Day @GeneOfTheDay]

Today’s #GeneOfTheDay is #Myo7a. Human diseases associated with this gene include Deafness. Mice with this gene inactivated exhibit decreased body weight and hearing phenotypes: https://t.co/zKZ966wK4Z

[BRS @BoneResearchSoc]

#BRS members: tell us about your new pre-prints, publications and grants! We'd like to start highlighting work by our members on our website and social media. See details in link https://t.co/1E3jd5nJJ6

[Dr. Victoria L @Craniophiles]

An excellent opportunity for any one looking to start a PhD!

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

There are some really great pictures of the OBCD team at the @ECTS_soc meeting, but the winner for best pose of the meeting has to go to @KobraDK

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

Agap1-/- mice also have reduced bone mass and strength in the vertebrae and femur - identified in the OBCD screen #GeneOfTheDay https://t.co/ef5W4c68gV

[Gene Of The Day @GeneOfTheDay]

Today’s #GeneOfTheDay is #Agap1. Full name: ArfGAP with GTPase domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain 1; Mouse knockout phenotype associations include corneal opacity, abnormal lens morphology & abnormal iris morphology. See this gene and others at: https://t.co/IGCBzoUczL

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

Thank you for an excellent meeting @BoneResearchSoc - we had a great time at #BRS2018 with so many fantastic talks and posters. Can't wait for #BRS2019!

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

Well done Andrea for winning one of the #BRS2018 New Investigator awards!

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

And for the last presentation from OBCD and friends, Marie is showing us her work on the genetic determinants of macrophage multinucleation #BRS2018

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

Visit Elena and co. at poster 22 to see the incredible phenotype of Creb3l1 mice! #BRS2018

[OBCD @Bone_Cartilage]

For something different (but very cool) head to poster 18 and Nat will tell you all about medullary bone in quail #BRS2018
