Excited that my second paper from my PhD came out yesterday in eLife - the journal!! Thanks to Doug, my co-author Clara, and the rest of The Melton Lab for all of the hard work and support that made this work possible! I could not have done it without you all. 1/2 elifesciences.org/articles/50765

PIEZO1 potentiates physical performance #Tendon-specific R2482H Piezo1 mice (GOF) had higher jumping abilities and faster running speeds than WT. Piezo1 enhances tendon anabolism & mechanics by regulating Mkx & Scx expression via NFATCs. #Mechanobiology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

When you see a person whose work shattered the paradigm of a field, what you are really seeing is a person who trained for a long time within that same paradigm - knowing it inside and out - until, finally, they noticed all of its little cracks and what big thing they meant.

If you dump too much data and distractions on your audience, they will feel stupid. But if instead you present your work in as clear a manner as possible - with simple logical steps - you will make the audience feel super smart and they will come away wanting to know more.

Finally our paper describing a new noninflammatory healing process is out! 👩‍🔬📰We are very excited to have our study on the cover of The American Journal of Pathology (1/3)

New study! We show that sleeve gastrectomy reduces glucose and cholesterol in lean female 5xFAD mice, but this has no effect on their #AD related behavior or pathology. A huge effort (and long shot) but I wanted to do this experiment since my postdoc. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Skeleton, #tendon, #muscle and #nerve integration are essential for craniofacial function. Learn from Jenna Galloway how Drew Noden's seminal work founded our understanding of facial muscle origin and the roles of neural crest cells in facial patterning doi.org/10.1002/dvdy.4…

I didn't want a 9-5 job, so I went into academia. Now I work 24-7.

The hardest thing in academia is the postdoc stage. So while it seems obvious, it’s still worth repeating: PIs, remember to give your postdocs daily encouragement and help transitioning to their next career step.

אם יש לכם 1:45 להעביר למשל בנסיעה, ובא לכם לשמוע אותי מתראיין על הרזיה, השמנה וריצות שטח, מוזמנים להקשיב לגיקונומי geekonomy.net/2022/10/03/gee… אפשר גם לשים ב2x 🤗

I am excited to share this new beautiful work from Steph Steph Tsai in my lab!

Great paper!!❤️❤️❤️

Hot off the press from the Jenna Galloway! 🌶️ A HSCI team identified a specialized #quiescent Scx+/Axin2+ cell population in mouse and human tendons that initiated healing and was a major functional contributor to repair. 💬 npj Journals: go.nature.com/4h9rsHs

‘A latent Axin2+/Scx+ progenitor pool is the central organizer of tendon healing’ Congratulations to Jenna Galloway Mor Grinstein Steph Tsai ORS Tendon Section Orthopaedic Research Society nature.com/articles/s4153…

We are excited to share our work from Jenna Galloway with the amazing help of Steph Tsai Daniel Montoro, Dr. Miho J. Tanaka @dingwallaby, Ben Freedman, and others. "A latent Axin2+/Scx+ progenitor pool is the central organizer of tendon healing" npj Journals : go.nature.com/4h9rsHs

Thrilled the final version of our paper is finally out! “Limited column formation in the embryonic growth plate implies divergent growth mechanisms during pre- and postnatal bone development”🦴👩‍🔬🧬 (🧵1/10)

New study from the lab! All kinds of good and bad and surprising things happen after sleeve gastrectomy bariatric surgery, but happens to the stomach itself? Does it “know” it has been sleeved? How? nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thrilled to see our paper now published Cell Metabolism led by Fabian Passini: Piezo2 in sensory neurons regulates systemic and adipose tissue metabolism (1/5 🧵) cell.com/cell-metabolis…

Inspiring panel discussion of New Frontiers in ECM Biology, featuring keynote Manuela E. Gomes and panelists Brianne Connizzo and Pernillae Eliasson at #ORS2025 ORS Tendon Section section meeting
