Thrilled and grateful to Nature Reviews Endocrinology for featuring our review on #skeletal #stem/#progenitor cells (SSPCs) on the cover of the March issue 🙏🔥🦴✨
This work would not have been possible without Seppe Melis, Dana Trompet, and Andrei Chagin.

A drug that mimics low oxygen (FG-4592) prevents obesity and bone damage by boosting energy burn and blood vessel growth. This points to a dual therapy for diabetes-related bone fragility and poor fracture healing in humans.🥳

Thanks @NatRevRheumatol & Claire Greenhill for highlighting our work🙏🌸
📣 Are you a #nephrologist prescribing #Roxadustat for #anaemia in #CKD ?
👉 We would love to hear from you! Maybe these mouse findings are effective in humans too!? Contact me✅

BREAKING NEWS
The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
Feeling very proud as a mentor watching @Roger_Valle_T shine as he receives the 2024 @ASBMR President’s Award🥇at #ASBMR2024 in Toronto from our president @lauracalvi3 ⭐️
What a lovely celebration 🎉
@SCEBP_Lab @FWOVlaanderen @DevReg_KULeuven #hypoxia #bone #energy #metabolism
Fantastic presentation by our talented PhD student Johanna Besold in the #ASBMR2024 Early Career Spotlight session 🤩
Big room for a first-ever conference talk 😅 but she & all other presenters handled it greatly 🙌👏
Thanks also to caring guidance by @LarrySuva and @NaomiDirckx

Exciting new findings by @Roger_Valle_T and @SCEBP_Lab revealing that boosting glucose uptake in the skeleton could be a game-changer in preventing high-fat diet-induced obesity and diabetes! #ASBMR2024
