Biohub engineers, led by Rafael GΓ³mez-SjΓΆberg & Michelle Khoo, designed and built the 3D organoid bioprinter for this work, which will help improve research on how our organs form and function, and develop new treatments for disease. New in @NatureMaterials.
Mar 17
Organs grow in a body that shape-shifts with them. UCSF scientists invented a gel that mimics this soft support and 3D printed stem cells into it - reliably seeding mini-organs that could speed drug testing in petri dishes. tiny.ucsf.edu/Rr2BvW

organs develop in a dynamic environment where their boundaries are constantly changing shape, relaxing, compressing, etc. in synchrony with the embryo.
see how this inspired us to create a material for optimal organoid bioprinting & self-organization!

Avery is a postdoc in my dept at GT, someone I know personally. She nearly died because doctors could not treat her miscarriage until she was actively dying- a direct result of anti-abortion laws in GA.
VOTE, canvas, donate- do whatever you can, or this is coming nationally.

"I went to the hospital when I passed a dinner plate-sized clot of blood at homeβ¦ the doctors are very clear this will progress to being life-threatening βΒ But when exactly I am dying, that's not as easy a call to make, and they shouldnβt have to make itβ¦"

importantly, i want to thank everyone who made the work possible, esp my labmates in the @ZevGartner lab and the unmatched support at @czbiohub. this massive body of work wouldn't be possible without incredible collaborators eager to work on interdisciplinary problems. (6/7)

what's next? a whole lot. stay tuned :) (7/7)
P.S. I came up with this acronym for the material years ago and if I end up being "that MAGIC matrix guy" for the rest of my career i won't be mad π¨βπ¬

this led to me zev's lab at UCSF where i'm now able to work on thrilling interdisciplinary problems ranging from soft matter physics to tissue biology. i've been so fortunate to be in love with my research, and it's all thanks to all who have supported me! stay tuned... (3/3)
