Thrilled to share that Ashley Murphy's vascularised fat microchip is published in #Small with Rose Ann Franco! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Ash engineered platforms to differentiate adipose tissue simultaneous to vascularisation, and found vessels significantly enhanced fat formation.

@arc-tracker.bsky.social is there a reason to the order of a rejoinder’s detailed reviewer comments? I remember hearing it’s in order of scores (first=highest rank) but unsure if that’s correct. #LP25r1

The support available to IMBA scientists means new Group Leaders are able to launch their research programs shortly after they arrive. Surrounded by a vibrant research culture, you’re never starting alone. Sound interesting? IMBA is hiring a Junior Group Leader. Link below.

[Please share] We're hiring a postdoc in Mathematical Biology at The University of Melbourne! Come and work with us on a collaborative project looking at how to predict biological behaviour across multiple scales. Feel free to reach out, details are here: jobs.unimelb.edu.au/en/job/91913...

We are advertising for a part-time research officer in computational tissue engineering throughout 2025. Looking for a postdoc, PG, or even a UG programmer in bioimage analysis, computational modelling, and/or data science (e.g. Python, MATLAB, R, etc). Applications due Tuesday, January 28th.

For the history books 📚 #CFBPlayoff • #GoBucks

I would also very much second your opinion. Inkscape is amazing and is constantly improving. Here also a link to a video from the Halfway to I2K conference showing the combination of ImageJ/Fiji with Inkscape for proper editing and high quality figure output. Hope it helps somebody!

Synthetic peripheral vascular grafts are plagued by high rates of restenosis due to nonphysiological mechanics. The brilliant Sabrina engineered a patient-specific FSI CFD pipeline to identify how bypass graft materials and surgical anastamosis angle can achieve more physiological mechanics.

So we proposed #SuperPlots, which superimpose sample-to-sample summary data on top of the cell-level distribution. It's a simple way to convey both variability of the underlying data and the repeatability of the experiment. Here, sample means are overlaid on a violin plot of all the cell data.

You an even go as far as to color-code each cell-level datapoint by the experimental run it came from, so the reader can see if there if the cell variability is clustered or dispersed.

Q: What's wrong with these plots? A: Pooling cell-level measurements across multiple runs conceals experimental reproducibility. Read more in JCB (with @fritzlaylin.bsky.social @katrinavelle.bsky.social & Dyche Mullins): rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Seeing lots of folks navigating over here in last few days (welcome!). Aggregating folks in the biomaterials & tissue eng. (+ adjacent) spaces that I see. Apologies if replicative. Let me know of others to add to this curated list (self-nom too!). Here's to a new community! 🧪 go.bsky.app/AeG8FWr
