Our paper on enhancing the repair of #RotatorCuff tears using pharmacologic methods to recruit endogenous MSCs is out in AJSM today! The project was fun, but I can't say enough about my amazing co-authors. Read it here:

A standardized, open-source, portable model for noninvasive joint injury in mice
Preclinical models of osteoarthritis (OA) are crucial for the study of disease mechanisms and for the development of critically-needed disease-modifying therapeutics. While surgical OA models, such as the destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM), have been the gold standard in the field for decades, noninvasive joint loading-based models have increased in popularity and utility. To facilitate standardization of the noninvasive anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR) model in mice, we present the Mobile Joint-Injury Operator (MoJO) - an open-source protocol with accompanying fixtures and data, designed for a low-cost, commercially-available, portable uniaxial testing system with a small footprint. We provide 3d-printable fixture designs and a rapid, highly-repeatable ACLR-mediated joint injury protocol that results in the expected post-traumatic osteoarthritis phenotype in male and female C56Bl/6 mice. We then describe the expected mechanical data from the injury procedure and offer various troubleshooting strategies. Finally, we summarize the resultant PTOA phenotype by knee hyperalgesia testing, ฮผCT imaging, flow cytometry, and histological assessment. Increased standardization of this model is a critical aspect of the overall refinement of animal models of OA. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
Ending the week with a new Maerz lab preprint! @maerzlab.bsky.social
We present an open source protocol for the ACLR model, with designs for 3D printable fixtures, QC and analysis codes, troubleshooting tips, representative data, and expected phenotyping outcomes.

I know there is a lot going on right now, but I think some happy news is still worth sharing - I will be defending my PhD on March 18th! This has been my most difficult, yet most rewarding journey and Iโm incredibly grateful for the support that I have received along the way. DM me for zoom info!
