Combining scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, Gulzada uncovers that an FGF-mediated signaling axis between synovial fibrotic MΟ† and EREG⁺ FLS plays a critical role in driving hip OA development following femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Integrative single cell RNA‐sequencing and spatial transcriptomics uncovers distinct macrophage‐fibroblast cross‐talk in human hip synovium between patients with femoroacetabular impingement and osteoarthritis Objectives Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and synovitis have been recognized as essential factors for developing osteoarthritis (OA) in the hip joints. However, little is known about altered syn...

Mechanistically, she found that PRDM16 regulates knee chondrogenesis through DNA binding and by modulating H3K4me3 deposition at promoter and enhancer regions of key chondrogenic and hypertrophic genes (e.g., MEF2C), thereby shaping chondrocyte phenotype specification and joint homeostasis.

Thrilled to share our new bioRxiv preprint led by Eloise Fadial (@efadial.bsky.social) πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰! Using PRDM16 cKO mice, hiPSC models, scRNA-seq & CUT&RUN, Eloise shows that PRDM16 is a key genetic and epigenetic regulator of knee chondrogenesis and chondrocyte identity.

Justification of Body Mass Index cutoffs for hip and knee joint arthroplasty among California orthopedic surgeons

Happy to share our new publication investigating factors and justifications that California orthopaedic surgeons use to decide whether or not to provide TKA or THA for patients with higher BMI:
