OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
CANCELLED. WILL BE RESCHEDULED IN THE NEW YEAR. Skeletal stem cells in synovial joints play important roles in joint maintenance and repair throughout life. Work in our lab has focused on understanding the ontogeny, identity and functions of stem and progenitor cells in the adult synovial joint. Progeny of Gdf5-expressing joint interzone cells that form the joint tissues during development continue to function as stem cells in adult joints and play important roles in the maintenance and repair of joint tissues during adult life. Our recent work has focussed on understanding the roles of Gdf5-lineage cells in the formation of osteophytes in osteoarthritis and joint destruction in inflammatory arthritis.
