We have been exploring polymer mechanochemistry to promote dynamic activities in hydrogel biomaterials. In this new paper, we integrated 2 responsive linkages into PEG-based hydrogels, where force and light were used as triggers to change chemistry. Check it out! pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Multi-step functionalization of hydrogels through mechano- and photo-responsive linkages

Patterning soft materials with cell adhesion motifs can be used to emulate the structures found in natural tissues. While patterning in tissue is driven by cellular assembly, patterning soft materials...

We are #hiring #PhD #researchers on an Australian Heart Foundation project bioengineering tissue culture model of transplant-associated cardiovascular disease. Domestic and international applicants welcome. Please repost and share with your communities.

Do you love 🍔BigMACS🍔 as much as we do? Big mechanically-active culture systems, that is! We just released a computational tissue engineering preprint from Sabrina’s PhD thesis on simulating soft robot MSC bioreactors. A team effort across universities and countries.

In Singapore this week for #ICBME24- Aeolus did the group proud presenting his work on a new system for intervertebral disc regeneration, including some exciting results on how to keep MSCs repairing the disc rather then becoming inflammatory in the injured tissue.
