Big congratulations @SLoopmans for your excellent PhD research!! This is one of the best moments as a mentor to see the success of team members. Many thanks to all co-authors and everyone in our research team as well as funding by @FWOvlaandere and @KU_Leuven!!
Very happy to share the final chapter of my PhD Research with @GeertLab, now online in @NatMetabolism, revealing that the pentose phosphate pathway in #chondrocytes is crucial for ER redox homeostasis and cell survival to ensure chondrocyte functioning and bone lengthening (1/4)

Congratulations @vishalmkrishnan and @ralfhadams for this beautiful work, linking the regional differences in #vasculature with the #metabolic heterogeneity of the bone microenvironment.
Bone remodeling is traditionally driven by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, but our study reveals a third essential player: "Type R capillaries". Excited to share my PhD work from @ralfhadams lab, now published in @NatureCellBio. nature.com/articles/s4155… 🧵1/8👇 🐭🔬🦴
The not-to-be-missed course in the metabolic bone disease topic is the Clinical Training Course, taking place online🧑💻on 15 November and 18 November from 8:30-5:00PM CET. Register today: buff.ly/3R5N50L

Congratulations Rik and @SilviaMonteag : interesting interaction between important signaling pathways!
New @NatureComms Publication Alert! We uncover a Wnt/IGF1 link driving joint damage in #osteoarthritis. IGF1, induced by Wnt signaling, worsens the joint disease, but IGF1 targeting could open doors to new therapie. rdcu.be/dXZ7l @SilviaMonteag @AnaEscribano7 1/14
It was a pleasure being in your thesis committee and discussing the numerous interesting findings
It has been an incredible journey! Thanks to @FendtLab and my PhD thesis committee @GeertLab @CoolsJn @CorbetCyril @MariaRodrColman for their support and the amazing discussion! @FWOVlaanderen @komop_tgkanker @KU_Leuven @vib_ccb

Excellent presentation by @SteveStegen on serine #metabolism in #bone: cell types and outcome matters!!

Many thanks Lydia!! @Lydfinley
Excellent, inspiring and concept-broadening Keynote presentation of Lydia Finley !!! Great start of the day.

Learning about metabolic control of healthy and pathological skeletal cells and their microenvironment at #ASBMR2024 Pre-meeting
Will be great to have all these updates on #bone cell #metabolism at the #ASBMR2024 premeeting
Off to #asbmr2024! Looking forward sharing our findings on how the #serine synthesis pathway regulates #bone cell function at the energy #metabolism pre-meeting on Thursday! @ASBMR @GeertLab
looking forward to all these presentations!! And the metabolism pre-meeting will be interesting.
