Journal of Orthopaedic Research - Spine®@jorspine.bsky.social · last yr.This recent review by Matthew A. R. Trone & coauthors highlights hyperacidity's effects on the intervertebral disc, such as catabolism of disk cells, neoinnervation, altered mechanical signaling, and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ion channels.

“universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs… NIH-funded basic science has contributed to the development of more than 90% of new medicines, vaccines, and devices… 75% of scientists in America were considering leaving the country.” www.statnews.com/2025/06/06/u...
We set out to quantify U.S. academic contributions to medicines. The results stunned even us
From 2020 to 2024, universities contributed patents underpinning 50% of FDA-approved drugs. 87% of those academic breakthroughs came from American institutions.

One of the fun things about having a lab in Utah is you aren’t too far from getting to do things like this to keep your mental health balanced. This is the top down route for the Subway that includes technical canyoneering in Zion National Park. #utah #canyoneering #zion
Spine research community on Bluesky! Excited to watch this community grow on here!
The Sheyn Lab @sheynlab.bsky.social · 2y agoLet's see if we can make @bsky.app the home of the spine research community go.bsky.app/DBKUvJq
Proud of this work with @sgullbrand.bsky.social and her amazing team! However, if they try to get you to eat teaberry ice cream, don’t do it!!
Matthew Fainor@handle.invalid · 2y agoInterested in #CRISPR-edited stem cells for large-scale #TissueEngineering (among other applications)?!?!? Our lab’s collaboration with @robbybowles.bsky.social is out now! You’ll have to read on to learn more ⬇️ 🧬 ✂️ 🧫 ✨ @sgullbrand.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
My first Bluesky post after the great escape from the other site! Follow me if you are interested in science (CRISPR), photography, or bikes. More formal introduction to come!
