Our first tweet! We are a network of researchers at Monash that integrate biomaterials, microfabrication, microfluidics & sensors with stem cell & regenerative science. We aim to develop and use models to enhance understanding of how tissues and organs are built and maintained

Congrats to @NicoVoelcker and everyone else involved in his successful @arc_gov_au #LIEF grant.
The project aims to establish an #OpenAccess TEM facility to be used for material development addressing a wide range of global challenges incl. energy, health, and manufacturing.

New paper from @IDonderwinkel - we wanted to know how TGFβ and mechanical forces combine in #tendon Tissue Eng. Turns out TGFβ turns on key tenogenic genes, but mechanical stimulation is more important for ECM deposition.

Assessing ovarian toxicity in clinical trials is way overdue! 🪺 We’re so proud of these recommendations published in @TheLancetOncol
Check them out here 👉🏼 thelancet.com/journals/lanon…
Our new recommendations published today in @TheLancetOncol spotlight the need for assessing ovarian toxicity in #ClinicalTrials. This aims to bridge the information gap helping patients make informed treatment choices. ➡️ brnw.ch/21wD8V4 #OncTwitter
