Congratulations to Tappara on the win once again! 🏆 We’re proud to see one of our researchers Raine Sihvonen celebrating with the team as Tappara’s doctor. Our researchers do many things, and supporting sports is one of them! #Tappara #Research #IceHockey #Orthopedics

With some big delays, but it's nice to see the fruitful collaboration with @terojarvinen.bsky.social and @carolinacabalin.bsky.social out in a nice package!

MedicalResearch.com now interview with Teppo Järvinen, Professor of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, University of Helsinki and HUS. You can find more information about the interview here: medicalresearch.com/nejm-arthros...

In the FIDELITY trial of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy for degenerative medial meniscal tear in adults, participant-reported and radiologic outcomes over 10 years of follow-up suggested no benefit and possible harm from the procedure. Full trial results: https://nej.md/48Pkwww #Orthopedics

Three must-read articles that sparked major news coverage in April.

Over the moon to see this work from my PhD finally published in Development! Using a combination of structural biology and genetics we identify an avidity-driven mechanism of BMP signal control in the extracellular space. (1/11)

Since our research programme began, we have invested an average of £500,000 a year in pioneering EB research - £24 million so far. This sustained commitment is accelerating treatment breakthroughs, improving quality of life & bringing us closer to a world where EB no longer limits lives. 🦋

Welcoming a new junior researcher Venla-Linnea Karjalainen to the team. Venla-Linnea is a medical student at Tampere University and alongside her medical studies, she works on research in hand surgery and orthopaedics in FICEBO.

www.tuni.fi/en/news/tero... Honored to receive this recognition from Tampere Univ.🏆 This award belongs to the incredible team behind the work: Marianne Karlsberg, Toini Pemmari, Soili Lehtonen, and Ulrike May. Thanks to collaborators at @unitartupress.bsky.social (Teesalu Lab) and NYMC (Liao Lab).

In conversation with Jarkko Jokihaara. Interview by Alan Cassels. Read more on our website: www.ficebo.com/post/meet-dr...

Interview is particularly interesting, as Jarkko Jokihaara reflects on the history of trapeziectomy — and once again this reminds us why it is important to study the effectiveness of procedures already used in clinical practice.

So much grift in stem cell space. Seeing more influencers leverage “regenerative” rhetoric. We been studying stem cell hype and unproven therapies for almost 20 yrs! And it just gets worse and worse. tbh, the phrase “stem cells” now a big red flag for BUNK! 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩 🚩

Great to be part of the team!✨

In this testing & data obsessed time, studies like this good reminder often useless & harmful! Over 40? Your rotator cuff probably looks a little rough www.sciencenews.org/article/shou... Study: "RC abnormalities nearly universal after age 40 years & routine imaging should NOT guide diagnosis..."

“Almost as Common as Grey Hair” Recent study from our group finds that after midlife, rotator cuff changes on MRI are almost as expected as grey hair. Now the lead author Thomas Ibounig explains the recent FIMAGE study findings in depth: www.ficebo.com/post/almost-...

Macrocyclic vascular homing peptide CAR not only works as drug delivery vehicle, but as a drug by itself; CAR homes to skin wound, binds to syndecan 4, which activates cytohesin 2 to activate small GTPase Arf6 to accelerate skin wound closure. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @natcomms.nature.com
