Science update from my postdoc Peiyuan Chai - his work “glycoRNA complexed with heparan sulfate regulates VEGF-A signaling” is now published @nature.com uncovering a new layer or glycoRNA-regulation of growth factor mediated control physiological processes rdcu.be/e1bBX

Out today in Nature - our collaborative work with Ryan Flynn's lab, led by Dr. Peiyuan Chai with support from Dr. @sinakheiri.bsky.social and @shahjess.bsky.social from our group. Exciting findings showcasing how glycoRNAs can modulate angiogenesis!

Excited to share our new paper on high-throughput #optogenetic #exercise assays for tissue engineered skeletal muscle! We leverage a multi-well stimulation apparatus to study how exercise regimen of various durations + frequencies impact muscle gene expression: doi.org/10.1002/btm2... #myoblue

What if we could “nudge” blood vessels to grow where we want them, in 3D and over time? We show that mechanical strain can guide new vessel sprouts in 3D as they grow. Thanks to my co-authors @shahjess.bsky.social Shah, Shashaank Venkatesh, Roger Kamm, and @rituraman.bsky.social

So happy to see our work in Nature Communications! 🧠🔎 We developed a #selfdriving lab to synthesize different shapes and sizes of #nanoparticles more efficiently. Please check it out here: 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
