Out today in Nature - our collaborative work with Ryan Flynn's lab, led by Dr. Peiyuan Chai with support from Dr. @sinakheiri.bsky.social and @shahjess.bsky.social from our group. Exciting findings showcasing how glycoRNAs can modulate angiogenesis!

What if we could “nudge” blood vessels to grow where we want them, in 3D and over time? We show that mechanical strain can guide new vessel sprouts in 3D as they grow. Thanks to my co-authors @shahjess.bsky.social Shah, Shashaank Venkatesh, Roger Kamm, and @rituraman.bsky.social

Preprint alert: Our latest study shows that "4D" force patterning enables spatial control of angiogenesis! Check out how we use Magnetic Matrix Actuation to precisely fabricate of 3D microvascular networks: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Led by @sinakheiri.bsky.social @shahjess.bsky.social!
