New work with Dr Sacks shows that how we model the 3D matrix around cells can change what we think cells are doing. For mitral valve cells, better force measurements mean clearer insight into disease progression and therapeutic testing. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @ColumbiaSurgery

Grateful to the 4 reviewers for their aligned yet mutually contradictory feedback. The manuscript is now simultaneously shorter, longer, clearer, and more comprehensive. Please find the revised version attached. P.S. I am equally complicit. Been one of them

We should always question what we do. TA-NRP in DCD heart transplantation is a clear example. The debate itself is a healthy driver of progress. How can biology help clarify what we mean by death? #AATSHQ
