Excited to share our lab's latest work in @PLOSGenetics on bone and muscle coupling!
Bone and muscle mass are associated throughout life. We were interested in how genetic variants dually influence bone and muscle mass…1/9https://t.co/M7cElFDh67

The MSBL has received a $431,765 @NIH award in recognition of #DEIA mentorship! This will be used to formalize a mentor network & expand research opportunities for trainees. Congrats to @ronkwonbone, @bey_category, @gomezae_, & the rest of the team! https://t.co/ccNpilmYNE pic.twitter.com/TQXViKss4v

New research from the Musculoskeletal Systems Biology Lab (MSBL) in @PLOSGenetics demonstrates in zebrafish that the gene wnt16 seems to play a dual role in bone and muscle development. @ronkwonbone @UWOrtho https://t.co/hcEgroYrsq @uwmnewsroom @UWMedicine

By studying the processes that allow #zebrafish to regenerate fins @ronkwonbone and Joyce Tang hope to find clues that could point to our own regenerative potential. Research in @iScience_CP. Read more: https://t.co/L5hIm8sSXJ pic.twitter.com/Kqfg64Dm90

New paper THREAD! We identify biological factors influencing phenotypic mosaicism in the skeletons of CRISPR-edited G0 zebrafish and establish methods for their detection using large-scale phenotyping. Effort led by Claire Watson, PhD. (1/8)https://t.co/yJowVcJ0pa pic.twitter.com/0OJ2pZopv2
