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

✅First day of 18th grade Knight Campus

Here's something to chew on - dental pulp #MSCs show promise as a treatment for #osteoarthritis #bioe610 doi.org/10.1007/s12015…

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: nature.com/articles/s4158…

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

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

✅ first conference with Nick Willett 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

🗞️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 BMC #bioe610 doi.org/10.1186/s40824…

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 doi.org/10.1038/s41592…

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! nature.com/articles/s4146… #BioE610

A good review on the therapeutic mechanisms of stem/stromal cell derived exosomes for #osteoarthritis: nature.com/articles/s4141…

Hydrogels made from modified amyloid peptides - which make up the plaques found in #Alzheimers - enhance differentiation of #MSCs into neurons #bioe610: doi.org/10.1038/am.201…

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: doi.org/10.34133/2022/… #bioe610

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

Here's a cool review that goes over the current state of in vitro tendon organoids to study tendinopathies: doi.org/10.1016/j.addr… #bioe610
