BETi protects heart cells from both SARS-CoV-2 and the inflammation! Out in Cell today. < 1yr ago @davidjamesoz and I came up with this project to try and help. Richard ran first exp 10 months ago. Then huge national team worked on it. My 50th paper too!

ASSCR member @jehudson85 and Dr Richard Mills talk with @9NewsQueensland about the findings of their study on the effects of #covid19 on the #heart

[9News Queensland @9NewsQueensland]

We've been warned of the affects COVID-19 has on our lungs and respiratory system, but Queensland researchers have uncovered just how damaging the virus is on our heart.

As @NatarjshaKramer reports, the discovery has promted trials of an international drug. #9News

Proud of our new work @Dev_journal – more in vivo evidence that retinoic acid is important to trigger meiosis, and clues as to how DMRT1 helps. Plus a cool new mouse line that ‘waves’! 😉 @UQMedicine @ANZSCDB @ReproductionSRB https://t.co/k1hXAbUEBx

BMSC require only a single day of TGF-β1 exposure, not days or weeks, to instruct chondrogenic differentiation. Refocusing optimisation at earlier timepoints may lead to effective cartilage repair therapies. @KatFutrega @theASSCR
