Marcella's latest publication in Science Advances is out now! Science Advances published the work of Marcella van Hoolwerff et al, where a high impact mutation was identified by exome sequencing in FN1 in affected family members of an early-onset osteoarthritis family. Upon introducing this mutation in an in vitro OA disease model using human [...]
