Super excited to announce that I will be starting my lab this fall in the @AM_OMRF unit at @OMRF! The group will focus on mechanisms/countermeasures of non-contractile tissue accumulation in aging muscle, with a particular emphasis on FAPs. (1/4) omrf.org/programs/aging…

🚨 Inspirational work led by first author @gabbygilmer! Inducing menopause in aged female mice accelerated knee OA 🐭. More broadly, what are hormone-intact aged female rodents not telling us about mechanisms of human female aging?
Online now! Here the authors investigate knee OA in a menopause mouse model and find that loss of 17β-estradiol and progesterone enhances susceptibility to senescence, extracellular matrix disassembly, and cartilage degradation (rdcu.be/d6Sau) doi.org/10.1038/s43587…

Eager to give this a read. Congrats to the team on a fascinating study!
Our last preprint is out!! This work has been made by a crazy team work composed of the new PhD @Erik_Jacques_ and our dearest mentors @LeGrandLab1 and @GilbertLab. No teaser, but if you want to know more about MuSCs communication during muscle repair...👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Tune in for a really incredible body of work. The group has learned so much from Gabby’s research. Excited to see the culmination of it all!
Big day coming up soon 👩🏽🔬 If you are free and interested, feel free to log in and check out my work on menopause and the knees! #doubleDoc @PittCMU_MSTP #phddefense
