Excited to share my new paper with @ActinDomain! We are proposing an updated definition of #EDS/#HSD, and explain how they could all be disorders of membrane-bound collagen. We explain the science in our new publication in @FrontCellDevBio. doi.org/10.3389/fcell.… Image Please also see the blog on @hEDStogether for a shorter and more easier-to-read lay summary of the main findings! hedstogether.com/projects/patho…

Excited to share my first publication! The Beighton Score as a measure of Generalised Joint Hypermobility. With HUGE thanks to my co-authors @DrEReinhold and @GemmaSPearce! Thanks also to @hEDStogether and @ActinDomain for support: hedstogether.com/projects/heds-… Based on the evidence, we make the following conclusion about the BS as a diagnostic tool: "The BS should not be used as the principle tool to differentiate between localised and generalised hypermobility, nor used alone to exclude the presence of GJH" hedstogether.com/projects/heds-…
