New paper alert in @ACSSynBio! Here, we designed receptors that sense peptides in 3D gels and showed that cellular activation only occurs in peptide-patterned (red) regions, as seen by their glow from the fusion of two GFP halves. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… @RowanUniversity

The @BellasFATLab fat tissues will be hitching a ride to ISS w @NSF @ISS_CASIS; we’re over the moon 🤓! We’re going to study how fat function is affected by mechanobiological changes in microgravity, while space ☢️ provides an accelerated aging model. More soon 🚀! #fatinspace

Super grateful for this @CMU_ChemE Alumn article! Here I talk about our @NSF funded work on developing materials that preserve the identity of stem cells outside of the body, and our programs that inspire high school students to pursue careers in STEM. @cmu_bme @RowanUniversity

Carnegie Mellon Chemical Engineering@CMU_ChemE

ChemE and @cmu_bme alum Sebastián Vega (@TheVegaLab ) started two programs to introduce high school students to engineering and research. Read more about how his own research was inspired by a class with Bob Tilton: cheme.engineering.cmu.edu/news/2024/04/2…

Osteoporosis is the most common chronic metabolic bone disease. @TheVegaLab recently developed BMP-2 peptide-functionalized hydrogels carrying MSCs to induce targeted bone formation, reducing the risk of osteoporotic fracture. #ORSSMC @JOrthopRes Link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38323639/
