Biohub engineers, led by Rafael Gómez-Sjöberg & 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.

i am so grateful to everyone who made this highly collaborative, highly interdisciplinary work possible. huge shout out to my collaborators and funders @biohub and @UCSF

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.

Check out this organoid printer from the Bioengineering team at #CZBiohubSF, developed in collaboration with @ZevGartner of UCSF and his Biohub Collaborative Postdoc @austinjgraham.

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 👨‍🔬

[Austin Graham 🧪🏳️‍🌈 @austinjgraham]

our new preprint is live – check out our nifty MAGIC matrices! (1/7) https://t.co/YVfaViUJjm

[Austin Graham 🧪🏳️‍🌈 @austinjgraham]

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)

@lsprahl @NatureMaterials @HughesLabPenn @liujiageng10 congrats Louis & team!!

[Louis Prahl @lsprahl]

Happy to see this work on #kidney tubule packing out today in @NatureMaterials! 🥳

This was a team effort with @HughesLabPenn, major shoutout to co-first authors @liujiageng10 & John Viola for all of your hard work, time, and expertise.
