Had such a great time at #ORS2023! Great to meet up with colleagues, learn a lot, and have fun. I’m a little sad to go home from one of the best annual meetings ever! Rebecca Rolfe Ben Peterson, PhD Krishna Pedaprolu Maria Laura Canonicco Niamh Buckley ORS Tendon Section

It was a great pleasure working with David Corr at RPI on this perspective article providing a review and recommendations for tendon cell and tissue culture. Thanks to everyone at the 2022 Tendon Section meeting that helped contribute. Truly a team effort! doi.org/10.1002/jor.25…

Congrats to Krishna Pedaprolu on his second paper! Although mouse Achilles tendons degenerate with fatigue loading, he found that they exhibit very little collagen denaturation, suggesting that this damage mechanism does not initiate tendon degeneration. doi.org/10.1016/j.jbio…

Just got the news that I've been granted tenure and promoted to Associate Professor Penn State Biomedical Engineering. Thank you to all my graduate students, mentors (Dawn Elliott Robert Mauck), and colleagues who helped me make it! I am so appreciative of your support and effort! ❤️

This was the scene at today’s “lab meeting” for which my grad students prepared a celebration for my tenure announcement. So grateful to have the opportunity to do great science with even better people! Krishna Pedaprolu Lauren Paschall Maria Laura Canonicco and Maggs. 💕

Calling all MSK researchers: PennStOrtho is hiring a new Vice Chair of Research to head all research activities within the Ortho dept. as well as the Center for Orthopaedic Research and Translational Sciences. Follow the link for more info and to apply: psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Staff/job/…

Congrats to Lauren Paschall for her first pub on the sex-specific mechanobiology of ACL explants! Very exciting work suggesting a novel mechanobiological mechanism for increased ACL ruptures in women. Erdem Tabdanov Aman Dhawan Penn State Biomedical Engineering PennStOrtho pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37602554/

Congrats to Krishna Pedaprolu for successfully defending his dissertation on an explant model of tendon degeneration! It's been a long journey but very proud of him and his accomplishments. Also great to see that big smile again!

For all ORS Tendon Section and education fans at #ORS2024, please come check out our talks and poster presentations this Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday Orthopaedic Research Society Krishna Pedaprolu Lauren Paschall Penn State Biomedical Engineering

#ORS2024 Yum!!! Orthopaedic Research Society Lauren Paschall Krishna Pedaprolu

Congrats to Krishna Pedaprolu and Lauren Paschall for expertly presenting their work at another great Orthopaedic Research Society Annual Meeting! ORS Tendon Section Penn State Biomedical Engineering

Excited to publish this comprehensive assessment of tendon structure-function relationships during development using a battery of experimental and computational approaches! Great collaborating with Rebecca Rolfe Helen McCarthy Nicholas Dunne Niamh Buckley Penn State Biomedical Engineering Maria Laura Canonicco

Excited that my first paper in engineering education has been published in the journal Biomedical Engineering Education. It studied the impact of adding content on inequality and bias into BME curricula on women's intent to persist in BME post-graduation. doi.org/10.1007/s43683…

Exciting paper that replicates the hierarchical mechanics of tendon and other soft tissues in a hydrogel, further establishing the role of interfacial sliding as an effective toughening mechanism in biology pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
