Liu et al. utilize a computational model approach to study the effect of ranolazine on failing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cardiomyocytes. @sjtu1896 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Martinez-Zalbidea et al. created extracellular vesicles from CRISPR-dCas9 engineered mesenchymal stem cell line overexpressing TSG-6. The therapeutic effect of these vesicles was explored on in vitro human intervertebral disc cells. @RITtigers link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Seymour et al. demonstrated the efficacy of using automated cell dispensing for high throughput screening of cervical and endometrial cancer in vitro models. @OregonStateBEE link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Seibel et al. studied the effects of obesity-associated conditions (like chronic inflammation, hypoxia, and tissue hyperlipidemia) on lymphatic draining function using 3D engineered in vitro models of lymphatic vessels. @BostonU_BME link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Taufalele et al. explore the effects of substrate stiffening on endothelial epigenetics, with a focus on DNA methylation. @VandyBME @creinhartking link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Miyano et al. study the molecular mechanisms underlying hyperosmolarity-induced autophagy, specifically looking at the effects of transcription factor EB (TFEB) and Ca2+ signaling pathways. @TMU_PR @TUS_PR_en link.springer.com/article/10.100…

📣📣 Exciting opportunity! The Freeman lab is #hiring a fully funded (@ERC_Research) PhD student to develop a lung metastasis-on-a-chip model for osteosarcoma. Come join my team @UCD_Mech_Eng and @UCD_Conway to advance cancer research with cutting-edge bioengineering techniques!

@fjobrien @TissueEngDublin That was a truly great talk. Congratulations!

I was honoured to have been invited to deliver the 100th Colles lecture. Really great to have so many colleagues, friends and particularly former researchers from @TissueEngDublin in attendance.

My final editorial as departing Editor-in-Chief of @CMBEjournal is published and my friends, this one is a doozy. Hope you find it amusing and remember… Just Review It! #OpenAccess link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Congrats @rileybehanbush !!

Silva and Jacinto review recent engineering approaches to deliver wireless light to the brain for optogenetic applications. @UPorto link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Xia et al. explore the damage mechanisms of endothelial networks under ultrasound cavitation. #HengyangUniversity #HuLab link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Kerivan et al. demonstrate a new approach using QCM-D for deciphering the feedback mechanisms that drive emergent cytoskeletal ensemble crosstalk and intracellular mechanosensing. @OleMiss_MBELab @emkerivan @olemissengineer link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@CMBEjournal @UIowaEngr @iowabme Thanks to my coauthors and collaborators @JamesAnkrum and @CalveLab! We used confocal time lapse imaging and proteomics to examine ECM remodeling between fibroblasts and adipocyte lineage cells.

To improve wound healing and reduce scar tissue, Sander et al. characterize ECM deposition of adipocyte-based therapeutic approaches. @ProfEdSander @UIowaEngr @iowabme link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Hirway et al. developed a multicellular computation model to investigate tumor microenvironment remodeling and pre-metastatic niche formation. @OhioStateBME @OSUengineering @SHWeinbergLab link.springer.com/article/10.100…
