New research from @tcddublin.bsky.social's School of Engineering and @rcsi.bsky.social shows how immune cells help broken bones heal 🦴
Macrophages release tiny particles that guide new bone formation and blood vessel growth, opening new paths for fracture repair.

#TrinityEngineering
New research by Anna Charly from the University of Liverpool @liverpooluni.bsky.social and Brian Caulfield from Trinity College Dublin @tcddublin.bsky.social, published in Sustainable Futures, uses a detailed bottom-up model to examine transport emissions across every road link in Ireland.
Rural drivers travel the longest distances, so how can a single electric car help cut more emissions and reshape Ireland’s climate targets?
Ireland’s climate plan may need a rethink.

The School of Engineering is supporting a study led by PhD researcher Victoria Ivanova, under the supervision of Prof Naomi Harte, exploring how people communicate in different conditions. The study takes about an hour, and participants will receive a €15 One4All voucher. Eligibility • 18+ • Native English speakers who grew up in Ireland • Normal hearing • Normal or corrected‑to‑normal vision You will watch short cartoons and retell the story. You may hear background noise at times. Audio and video recording will take place, and small arm sensors will be used. The study has full ethical approval and is based in Stack B, a short walk from campus. Fill out the form (link) to get the information leaflet and booking link, or email vivanova@tcd.ie. Thank you for supporting research at Trinity’s School of Engineering
