Really excited to tell you about our paper just out in the journal Matrix Biology. @erinboland.bsky.social set out to investigate what the impact of basement membrane defects are on adult heart function/biology. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great to see that our work on #viscoelastic #hydrogels for #cartilage #TissueEngineering was one of the most-read papers in Advanced Healthcare Materials @mattjwalker.bsky.social @delphe.bsky.social @manlio-tassieri.bsky.social Check it out here doi.org/10.1002/adhm... 🧪

🧪This is just a teaser. Stay tuned for more information coming soon! #6thISMB

⚠️ Paper Alert ⚠️ Are you thinking of starting co-cultures of Living Materials with mammalian cells? Then give our paper a read on how to find the best culture conditions for both! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Turns out bacteria are pickier than mammalian cells 😄 #livingmaterials #science

Paper⚠️ Have you wondered how to assess cytocompatibility on #engineeredlivingmaterials? Because they are ever evolving, it's important to follow how time affects their compatibility with the host. Here we propose a workflow just for that. Check it out! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🔔 The final version of our COBME paper on how #hydrogel platforms with tunable / dynamic #mechanics enhance our understanding of #cancer progression and #fibrosis is out! 🧪 🌺 Thank you @marcocantini.bsky.social @mattjwalker.bsky.social #tissueengineering 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🎁🧧🥗We had such a lovely CeMi #Christmas lunch! 🎅🥗🎄 Join our Centre @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social 💝 #mechanobiology #6thISMB

Happy to share our Current Opinion by @mattjwalker.bsky.social and @delphe.bsky.social🧪 We review how advances in dynamic #hydrogel based #mechanobiology platforms are critical to understand disease progression in cancer and fibrosis @elsevierconnect.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

On behalf of the organizing committee (pic below), I'm thrilled to announce the 6th ISMB, the 2026 International Society of #Mechanobiology Meeting in #Glasgow. See you all there! 🧪 #InternationalSocietyMechanobiology #6thISMB Pic: G. Ciccone, O. Dobre, D. Gourdon, B. Martinac, M. Vassalli

Interested in how #stemcells sense their environment? Check out our work showing how #ECMatrix viscosity regulates #mechanosensing and #differentiation 🧪 Led by @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social in collaboration with IBEC @natureportfolio.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
