Congrats to @MAFriedmanVCU and coauthors on our new paper out now in @JOrthopRes. We demonstrate with @cr_farber that genetics significantly affects the bone response to unloading using @jacksonlab DO founder mouse strains @VCU_BME

Congrats to @MAFriedmanVCU on his poster at #ASBMR2021! Come by poster #100 in #mechanobiology today to learn how disuse by immobilization and or mechanical hindlimb unloading affect musculoskeletal tissues #orthoresearch
New work in @TheJMNI from Dr. Maroni, @MAFriedmanVCU, @cr_farber and @HenryJDonahue1 found that genetic variability influences the response of skeletal muscle to disuse. #OrthoResearch pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3446…
