I spy some zombie cells @Emmajstowe.
The future is bright, and quite clever - highlights from the 3MT presentations at the @ors_tendon section meeting at #ORS2025

An early holiday treat from our group! We found that metabolic processing of glucose and glutamine are important for ECM synthesis and could be a key piece of why we have less efficient tissue maintenance in aging!
