Bone is also an important endocrine organ, I encourage my musculoskeletal colleagues also consider this opportunity.

Purdue student detained by ICE and taken to troubled Louisiana holding facility Yeonsoo Go, 20, was detained after her immigration hearing in Manhattan and taken away by ICE agents.

Yeonsoo Go, a 20-year-old Purdue student, was detained by ICE and sent to a troubled holding facility in Louisiana. Go came to the US legally on a dependent visa tied to her mother, who is currently serving in New York as a priest with the Episcopal Diocese. #inhumane www.wthr.com/article/news...

America’s New Alien Land Laws Echo a Shameful Past

After Northwestern scientist questioned for China ties died by suicide, family sues and speaks out Jane Wu was never charged with any wrongdoing, and her family is still outraged that her lab was shut down "without explanation," they say.

Dr. Jane Wu's tragic death is a reflection of the longstanding discrimination that Chinese researchers face in U.S. Northwestern’s actions were not just unjust — they were inhumane. Isn't the so called 'ties' what we used to call 'collaborations'?!

Huge congrats! So well deserved!

AASF cautions harm to US talent pipeline from new State Dept policy to aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including in critical fields. "It sends a chilling message to the world that America no longer welcomes global talent" - Gisela Kusakawa

Sick of reading news. I hope they remember once upon a time they or their family were also 1st generation immigrants, 'international' scholars/students.

I am heading there this afternoon too. Also using Alaska😀

To my colleagues at Harvard with recently terminated NIH and NSF grants, please, please report them below.

We’re told of at least 200 NSF grants and widespread NIH terminations.

And please spread the word 🙏

It really doesn’t make sense that authors are paying for publication fee, open access fee, color page fee, et al. for the content/discoveries THEY made…

Had a blast visiting Pitt! Great conversations with faculty and trainees! The soup dumplings for the lunch are also amazing!🤩

Sirt5 regulates chondrocyte metabolism and osteoarthritis development through protein lysine malonylation. Graphical abstract created with BioRender

Levels of lysine malonylation (MaK) and its regulator Sirt5 were examined in mouse and in vitro cartilage samples. Results showed ↓SIRT5 and ↑MaK in cartilage during aging. In mice, combination of Sirt5 deficiency & obesity exacerbated joint degeneration

NOAA and the NWS are *lifesaving* public services.

Without tornado, flash flood, blizzard, and hurricane warnings, millions of people will be exposed to deadly weather without warning--weather that will continue to increase in severity due to climate change.

My friend Mick Jurynec at Utah also independently identified a human Sirt5 coding mutation that is linked to familial OA. We will follow up on this work using a mouse model carrying this mutant allele to further study its functions.

We used a combination of systemic and cartilage conditional KO mouse models to demonstrate that Sirt5-MaK is an important regulator for chondrocyte metabolism and OA development during obesity.

Sirt5 regulates chondrocyte metabolism and osteoarthritis development through protein lysine malonylation Objectives Chondrocyte metabolic dysfunction plays an important role in osteoarthritis (OA) development during aging and obesity. Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) have recently emerge...

Happy to share our recent paper on the role of Sirt5 and protein malonylation in obesity associated chondrocytes metabolic dysfunctions and OA development.

Censor, purge, defund: how Trump following the authoritarian playbook on science and universities I have mapped 35 of the Trump administration's attacks on science and universities to the authoritarian playbook - and consider what it means for attacks still to come

My latest post is now out.

I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.

This means we can guess what might come next and prepare - and we must!

An awesome 2025 ORS meeting in Phoenix, AZ. Regret that I had to leave a bit early.

Not sure how many of us have already migrated to this platform. Mick, Matlock, and I will talk about aging and OA in the upcoming the ORS meeting. It's at 2 pm on Saturday in North 222. #ORS2025

Bye 2024
