Ahead of our upcoming Orthopaedic Research Society SMC initiative (hint!:🏇) check out some pedigree fun facts about Journalism, one of the amazing equine athletes running in the Derby this weekend!!

In honor of the Kentucky Derby this week, the #ORSSMC is excited to highlight some of the stellar Veterinary Scientists in the @orssociety, and their research in the areas of #sexdifferences, #animalhealth, & #onehealth. Stay tuned on May 1, 2, & 3 for more! #ORSxDerby #KyDerby

Vet-scientists in the Orthopaedic Research Society improve orthopaedic health for animals & humans. Meet Dr. Kelly Santangelo: buff.ly/K1go4OO The Santangelo Lab (Colorado State University) aims to enhance healthspan by aiding functional, independent, & pain-free mobility. #ORSSMC #ORSxDerby

With Kentucky Derby celebrating fillies at The Oaks 🌸, #ORSSMC is ✨running✨ with it—highlighting sex differences & ortho research in women! DYK from 1983–2015 Journal of Orthopaedic Research® saw a 27% increase in female 1st authors? Follow us for more tomorrow! #ORSxDerby buff.ly/Tg59Aw9

I am honored to highlight Vet-Scientist and past Orthopaedic Research Society president, Dr. Kurt Hankenson (Kurt Hankenson)! The Hankenson Lab University of Michigan is interested in elucidating mechanisms of bone formation to improve clinical care. Spotlight: buff.ly/I8OoHC0 #ORSSMC #ORSxDerby

Sex-specific biological mechanisms underlying tendon healing are an important & understudied area of research! Jason C. Marvin, PhD (he/they) 🏳️‍🌈🇹🇼 et al explore tenocyte morphology, proliferation & mechanosensitivity sex-differences in this Journal of Orthopaedic Research® work: buff.ly/1LEl1pQ #ORSSMC #ORSxDerby

Call for #ORS2026 Workshops & Symposia is now open! 🏁Help shape the scientific program in Charlotte, NC (March 27–31) under the theme "Driving Research to Fuel Discovery." 🗓️ Submit by May 23: ors.org/2026workshops/ Orthopaedic Research Society #ORSSMC

OA is a debilitating disease that impacts the quality of life of people & horses. The Schnabel Lab describes a new matrikine stimulation model of OA in Journal of Orthopaedic Research® that will benefit equine & human patients via its use for in vitro studies! #ORSSMC #ORSxDerby buff.ly/6mvFDwU

I’ve had the best time volunteering with the ORS - consider getting involved and helping shape the future of MSK research!!

There are so many cool OA models!! Check this one out:

Another great #ORSxDerby feature, this time from The Reesink Lab and Bonassar Lab!!!

Did you know that after #ACL reconstruction the graft remodels? This new work in Journal of Orthopaedic Research® analyzed this process via #RNASeq which will contribute to the identification of new approaches to improve clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction! #ORSSMC buff.ly/OaPkLq0

Age is a known risk factor for Achilles tendon injury! This study in Journal of Orthopaedic Research® showed age-related changes in healthy Achilles structure that may limit its capacity to store and transfer energy in older adults. Read it here 🔗 buff.ly/QwuxsOX #ORSSMC #TendonTuesday
