Measurement of quadriceps strength using a handheld dynamometer. Patients were seated with the knee at 90° flexion. Quadriceps strength was measured isometrically with a handheld dynamometer (μTas F-1, Anima Corporation, Japan) secured to the distal lower leg using a strap with belt stabilization.
Achieving quadriceps strength within the distribution of older adults without knee OA following TKA is associated with clinically meaningful differences in satisfaction and functional activities.

#Osteoarthritis (OA) often coexists with metabolic traits (MTs), causing significant disability. 🧬
Liao et al. aimed to uncover the shared genetic mechanisms between OA and MTs, revealing novel OA-MT related genes, proteins and pathways.

Excited to share the Collins Lab Lineup for #ORS2026 🎉
From spatial transcriptomics to fat-joint crosstalk in #osteoarthritis, our team is presenting talks & posters all weekend long 🎤
Stop by my NIRA poster & podium on Sunday morniny to learn more about the role of fat in OA & #aging 🧬
🧬 Not the iPS cells — but the liquid they were grown in.
Injected into arthritic knees: 71.4% improved. Zero side effects.
A world-first clinical study that could help 375M people.

✔ PRP → better pain relief at 6 months. No long-term difference. No functional improvement
Takeaway: PRP helps… but not consistently. Is PRP worth the cost in your setting?

New #OMICs work by Barter et al. seeks to reveal the chromatin accessibility of the #cartilage chondrocyte genome and identify changes that occur in accessibility during both development from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and in #osteoarthritis (OA).

Fellow OA patients, this is the time when you remember Vioxx and today's 15 year destruction of patient care due to opiate hysteria, that turned patient care into anesthesiologist/cop care.
