Thrombospondin-2 deficiency primes the synovial joint for aberrant tissue remodeling and injury response

Lindsey Lammlin, Lucas M. Junginger, Alexander J. Knights, Michael D. Newton, Henry Dai, Carlisle R. DeJulius, Aanya Mohan, Isabelle J. Smith, Scarlet C. Howser, Gurjit S. Mandair, Sunghun Cheong, Paul F Lais, Sofia Gonzalez-Nolde, Andrea I. Alford, Kurt David Hankenson, Tristan Maerz

This study shows that TSP2 deficiency leads to increased joint inflammation and worsened osteoarthritis after injury, suggesting TSP2's role in joint homeostasis.

Axonal injury signaling is restrained by a spared synaptic branch

Laura J. Smithson, Juliana L. Zang, Lucas M. Junginger, Thomas J. Waller, Reilly Jankowiak, Sophia A. Khan, Ye Li, Dawen Cai, Catherine A. Collins

The paper shows that Wnd/DLK signaling in Drosophila motoneurons is activated only when synaptic terminals are completely removed, not when they are partially spared.

Intra-Articular Sprouting Of Nociceptors Accompanies Progressive Osteoarthritis: Comparative Evidence In Four Murine Models

Alia M. Obeidat, Shingo Ishihara, Jun Li, Lindsey Lammlin, Lucas M. Junginger, Tristan Maerz, Richard J. Miller, Rachel E. Miller, Anne‐Marie Malfait

The paper examines nociceptor sprouting in four mouse models of knee OA, finding progressive neuroplasticity associated with joint damage across different stages of the disease.
