To better mimic distal lung mechanical forces, Wei et al. integrate curvature into their novel hammock-shaped platform. @ClaudiaLoebel #cmbeYI @UMBME @UMengineering link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@Vidhipriya1 @ClaudiaLoebel @CMBEjournal @mshtein @UMengineering Thanks! Yes, that is one of the many exciting steps coming next...First, we are understanding how alveolar shape changes: doi.org/10.1002/advs.2…

@ClaudiaLoebel @AvinavaR @CMBEjournal @mshtein @UMengineering Great work! Have you considered making a dome-shaped hammock which would mimic the alveoli more? If so would there be any effective changes due to curvature changes?

Excited for Avinava @AvinavaR and Katie Wei and their recent work published in @CMBEjournal! A cool collaboration with the Shtein lab @mshtein @UMengineering on kirigami-inspired hammocks to mimic lung alveoli link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@EpiMechFC What if we can dynamically control curvature - let cells adapt to curvature beginning from an initially flat state? doi.org/10.1002/adma.2…

How curvature affects epithelial tissues? Answer in 5 papers! To understand this, one must first gain control over curvature.

A hydrogel layer folds in response to a magnetic field to mimic folded tissues like those in your airways. It brings a second, cell-laden hydrogel layer along for the ride! 🚗 @ClaudiaLoebel @abdon_pf @UMich @AvinavaR @MadelineEiken More here 👉 ow.ly/yhu750Os8gE

Happy to share our first paper from the lab in Advanced Materials @AdvSciNews by @AvinavaR and Zane Zhang! Dynamic folding of magnetoactive hydrogels to mimic tissue patterns - great collaboration with Abdon's team @abdon_pf @ummse! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Good news! My article received enough citations to be a #topcitedarticle in its journal: Effects of Processing Parameters of 3D Bioprinting on the Cellular Activity of Bioinks onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ma…

@therealindrajit Fantastic news Dada! Congratulations and all the very best!

Thank you so much, @ProfDipanjanPan for playing a big part in my budding academic/research career. None of this would have been ever possible if you hadn’t given a ~20y old undergraduate from India a chance to work in your lab as summer intern @Carle_org @BIOENGatIL.

@therealindrajit Hitting the clouds away! 😄

@UMengineering @umichme @NaskarAnway Check this out!

Next-gen EV batteries with greater range and safety could be coming. But before these promising batteries jump from the lab to manufacturing, @umichme professors say a few hurdles need to be cleared. news.engin.umich.edu/2021/05/next-g…
