Alexandra Borelli

👏🎊🍾 Congratulations to Ali @AN_Borelli, our latest PhD graduate! Ali developed hybrid PEG-HA hydrogels for tuning stress relaxation and delivering MSCs. We’re so excited to see what she does next! @CUEngineering

Researchers develop hydrogels for 3D cell culture whose stress relaxation over time can be precisely tuned. This in turn allows for control over the spreading behavior of mesenchymal stem cells. @AnsethGroup @AN_Borelli 👉 ow.ly/c8cy50K6Z5u

Control over the stress relaxation of a hydrogel is attained by engineering it with dynamic bond forming functional groups. The spreading of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells under these conditions is investigated @AN_Borelli @AnsethGroup @CUBoulderMCDB 👉 ow.ly/e6K050JkOUB

🎊 New article out yesterday @AdvSciNews! In her first first author paper, @AN_Borelli developed a hybrid hydrogel system with HA + PEG and both dynamic and static crosslinks. Gel composition determines stress relaxation and alters MSC response in 3D! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…
