Emerging views of biomechanics via embedded sensors in model tissues: pathways to the clinic Mechanical features of tissues have been recognised as key drivers of disease progression and are increasingly investigated as diagnostic and therapeu…

Happy to share my first postdoc publication in Christopher Moraes' lab at @mcgill.ca! We discuss how biomechanical sensors in engineered tissues reveal new insights into cancer, fibrosis, and clinical translation challenges. Check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 👇

Investigating How All‐Trans Retinoic Acid Polycaprolactone (atRA‐PCL) Microparticles Alter the Material Properties of 3D Printed Fibrin Constructs The presence of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) in polycaprolactone (PCL) microparticles can promote the degradation of fibrin constructs. This highlights the need for a more careful consideration of ...

Kicking off 2025 with a publication! This collab btw @drwillerth.bsky.social & @TheElviraLab explores atRA’s effect on smart bioinks. Proud to share co-first authorship with Maria Hangad, my undergrad mentee during my PhD @uvic.bsky.social. Full paper here 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Montreal is a great city in the summer 😎

I curated a list of really smart scientists (and me) of Latin American and/or Hispanic background to follow… Still trying to figure out Bsky, so I apologize if there’s already one going around. Please help spread the word, and let me know if you’d like to be added.

Could I be added to this please also 😄

Can I be added also 😄

Created this starter pack on #microfluidics for all you peeps out there. Let me know if you are also working in that area and I'll add you.

I didn't find a specific mechanotransduction starter pack, so I open one myself😊. There are still a lot of people to be added, but it's late, so please drop me a message or post here to nominate yourself for the Mechanotransduction community.

Working soft matter/biophysics and droplet generators! Would love to be added 😄

Would be great to be added also!

Large-scale-integration and collective oscillations of 2D artificial cells - Nature Communications Large-scale-integration of artificial cells on a chip can reveal emergent multicellular phenomena. Here, authors report 2D coupled lattices of artificial cells programmed by genetic oscillators, exhib...

My latest article is out! 1000 artificial cells synchronize in 2D and collective behavior emerges!
