Bio-inspired scaffolds help promote muscle growth | Medical Xpress MAY 14, 2021
Rice University bioengineers are fabricating and testing tunable electrospun scaffolds completely derived from decellularized skeletal muscle to promote the regeneration of injured skeletal muscle.

Transforming lung cells critical for pulmonary fibrosis | Medical Xpress
by Will Doss, Northwestern University
The failure of lung epithelial cells to complete transition from a stem cell-like state into a fully differentiated state causes lung fibrosis, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences (PNAS).
Scott Budinger, MD, the Ernest S. Bazley Professor of Airway Diseases and chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care in the Department of Medicine, and Alexander Misharin, MD, PhD, assistant professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, were co- senior authors of the study published in PNAS.

Its Ehlers-Danlos Awareness Month
Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes
Regarding Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD’s) we have been providing information and support for a few years now. The difference now is that it is more noticeable that we do. This section for Rare Disease has been a long time in the planning and now EDS has a proper home on FibroFlutters website.
As an organisation FibroFlutters & ZebraStrutters support Ehlers Danlos Support UK (EDS UK) and Ehlers Danlos Society, and the Hypermobility Association (HMSA). Our doors are open to all. We are interested to hear your stories and are willing to share them here for you. You might have interesting articles and research that you think we should have on the site. When you have awareness campaigns or upcoming events we are also happy to help circulate them across our network.

This has already taken place
Webinar 2: Functional Genomics tools for target ID & validation
Thursday 20th May – 3pm BST/ 4pm CEST/ 10am EDT
Functional genomics presents a huge opportunity to understand the targetable genome and how this can be leveraged for drug discovery. This webinar will discuss the different technologies that biopharma is leveraging for functional genomics studies, evaluate their limitations and future direction.
Webinar 3: Coupling genomic data with diverse datasets
Thursday 27th May – 3pm BST/ 4pm CEST/ 10am EDT
While genetics and genomics present a huge opportunity for drug discovery, the increasing ability and ease to capture multi-omics data, or couple “omics” data with imaging data, presents a huge opportunity to translate findings into targets. This webinar will focus on the opportunities to leverage diverse data for drug target discovery, address the challenges of this at scale and present opportunities for future developments.
This webinar series has been made possible due to the kind support of ‘Frontline Genomics‘ partner 10x Genomics.
