Here's a cool review that goes over the current state of in vitro tendon organoids to study tendinopathies: https://t.co/u1li3tnPlT #bioe610

It's always a good day when you can see North and Middle Sister from the @UOKnightCampus

Interesting study that identifies a novel muscle-tendon progenitor (MTP) cell population in the myotendinous junction, and touches on MTP's potential as a cell therapy for challenging MTJ injuries: https://t.co/NrAmc1ttnF #bioe610

Hydrogels made from modified amyloid peptides - which make up the plaques found in #Alzheimers - enhance differentiation of #MSCs into neurons #bioe610: https://t.co/tlcDPkezeF

Fresh off the press! This fascinating article aims to help elucidate cellular mechanisms regulating osteoarthritis. Here, the Runx family is evaluated in three OA in vivo models. Worth a read!

A good review on the therapeutic mechanisms of stem/stromal cell derived exosomes for #osteoarthritis: https://t.co/lrcmQx8yAG

Here's a cool paper: NicheNet predicts the most powerful ligand-receptor pairs between interacting cells by analyzing changes in gene regulation. Could be a useful tool for designing or characterizing #tissueengineering strategies! #bioe610

🗞️Hot off the press🗞️ MSC-derived EV's "exert a critical therapeutic effect" for #osteoarthritis treatment. They're also a readily-engineerable drug delivery platform with distinct advantages over direct cell delivery @BioMedCentral #bioe610

It was a great day of science at #OregonBioengineeringSympsoium!!! Lab members Julia Harrer, @Yan_CarlosP, and Harper McClain did an excellent job presenting on new bone and muscle regen strategies

[Frank Pittman @regeneratefrank]

✅ first conference with @WillettLabs at the Oregon Bioengineering Symposium! It was great to meet so many sharp scientists and learn about the incredible research happening in Oregon's BioE community

[Jarod @JarodForer]

What I learned from my first bioengineering conference that has nothing to do with bioengineering, a 🧵 1/10

@GautreauxMalley @bioe610 Really cool paper! Osteochondral organoids seem like they'll be PIVOTal for future OA research

[Nicholas Pancheri @NPancheri_BioE]

Interested in gaining clearer insight into a few potential directions osteoarthritis treatment may take in the future?

Then check out this thorough and clinically-relevant review article here: https://t.co/QIi4x9iaBx

Here's something to chew on - dental pulp #MSCs show promise as a treatment for #osteoarthritis

✅First day of 18th grade @UOKnightCampus

[Frank Pittman @regeneratefrank]

Had an incredible first week with the 3rd @UOKnightCampus cohort! Beyond excited for what's to come in the next few years

[Knight Campus @UOKnightCampus]

Whew, what a week! And what a great group of bioengineering Ph.D. students! That's a wrap for #ImpactWeek at the #KnightCampus. The bootcamp may be over, but the personal and professional growth will continue! https://t.co/FVXPmqNx3F
