We are thrilled to be at #SFB2025 in Chicago this week! @vanessadoulames.bsky.social will be sharing some of our recent work on a hydrogel-mediated approach for spinal cord injury. Excited to see everyone! 🤗

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o... Really important piece to share widely. Too many Americans don’t know how severe a threat this Administration poses to our scientific infrastructure, global leadership, and health security

My statement regarding the decision to drop the second round of the CZI Science Diversity Leadership Award funding opportunity:

A bittersweet goodbye to Dr. David Kilian as we send him off to the Netherlands! David will be joining the MERLN Institute at Maastricht University to start his independent research group! 🥳 We wish him the best and of course will miss him so much 🥺🫶

📣 Excited to share our first manuscript of 2025 where we present an interpenetrating network of physically assembled collagen and covalently-crosslinked collagen, which contains *both* fibrous and amorphous #collagen networks! Led by @luciabru.bsky.social & @chrislong42.bsky.social, check it out!

Happy holidays from the Heilshorn Lab! Great way to end the year celebrating each other’s accomplishments together 🤗🎄☃️

Excited to share our new review on #organoid #bioprinting in Nature Reviews Bioengineering! 🎉 @natureportfolio.bsky.social We highlight recent advances and envision a future that integrates organoid biology and biofabrication approaches to engineer complex tissues. Hope you enjoy! 🔓: rdcu.be/d3H6u

1st post in a new space seems like a good spot to feature the 1st project by the lab's 1st PhD student! We set out to engineer calcium-responsive proteins as muscle-mimetic materials and discovered some surprises along the way. Congrats to Marina, Winnie, Gatha, and Kenny! doi.org/10.1039/D4PY...

Hi 🦋! We are a biomaterials group at Stanford interested in tissue engineering, biofabrication, and hydrogel-based therapies. And we just celebrated labsgiving! 🤗🦃 #HiSky #SciSky

I didn’t see a general starter pack for people in the #BME and #BioE communities so I started to put one together. Let me know if I’ve missed anyone in particular or if you’d like to be added! #ScienceSky #AcademicSky go.bsky.app/9nMCGLK

New paper in Advanced Materials! We develop a family of 3D viscoelastic HA matrices and use them to study effects of stress relaxation on GBM invasion. Led by ChemE PhD student Emily Carvalho in collaboration with Andreas Stahl (UCB) and Manish Aghi (UCSF) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Here’s our latest research! How do 3D mechanical cues shape muscle stem cells (MuSCs) in regeneration? We took a deep dive into this question in our latest work: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
