Clinical-standard rigid expansion beads often drive T cells toward "bioenergetic collapse" and premature exhaustion. Using soft polyacrylamide substrates mimic APC stiffness, preservingfitness. Enhanced cytotoxicity against breast cancer cells even in restrictive 3D environments.
Better T cell manufacturing = better cancer outcomes. By switching to softer activation surfaces, we have unlocked CD8+ T cells that resist exhaustion and maintain superior killing power against breast cancer cells.
My amazing lab is based and supported by @nyuad. We are resilient to the recent conflict and still suiting up & and showing up! In the relentless pursuit of science!
We have a robust approach for forming in vitro lymphoid structures capable of mounting adaptive immune responses. This work is largely led by @ElgindiMei and supported by Shaza Karaman. Our lab also many other facets of #immunomechanobiology research https://t.co/LYHApsLo8q
Assistant Professor Jeremy Teo (NYU Abu Dhabi) was quoted on the promise and challenges of lab-on-a-chip, organoid, and tumor explant models that replicate human immune responses to cancer without animal testing.

Big congratulations to the LIBRA Lab at NYU Abu Dhabi on their new paper in Advanced Science (IF 14.1), led by Mei ElGindi. Exciting progress in bioengineering functional lymph node tissue with strong translational potential. 🔬👏

My course CADT-UH1033 Bioinspiration @nyuad + @NYUADEng’s @jmontalvon Advance Manufacturing lab. Demonstrating the prototyping possibilities to cross divisional students for their term projects.
My new cover for American Chemical Society💥🧪
@JacekWychowani1 and colleagues showed that tiny self-assembling #peptides can direct immune responses. Depending on their sequence, they may reduce or trigger #inflammation. With just a single amino acid change, researchers were able to tune nanofiber formation and hydrogel properties and cause dramatic shifts in #macrophage_polarization.🧬
On this #cover, I depicted a macrophage surrounded by peptides that influence its polarization. The overall composition reminds me of planets drifting through space. For me, it is a metaphor for the immune system’s complexity and mystery.
✨Congratulations to all involved!

In space, no one can hear you scream… but they can hear your cardiac cells beat! 💓
Huge success for our #SpaceTissueEngineering symposium at #TERMISEU2025 🚀
Bioprinted hearts, crystal-clear drugs, breathing inks & peptides that show up before the meeting starts 😉
