Excited to share our lab's latest work in @PLOSGenetics on bone and muscle coupling!

Bone and muscle mass are associated throughout life. We were interested in how genetic variants dually influence bone and muscle mass…1/9

Cudos to @gomezae_ for vetting these model systems carefully and sharing the data, so others don’t have to repeat this arduous work. Please read her excellent summary thread and the paper. 1/3

- Even commonly used cell lines might not be perfect for every assay/output you are interested in.
- Troubleshooting within assays for different cell types might be needed. It helps to figure this out sooner rather than later.
