I enjoyed spending some time this winter break illustrating a tentative journal cover for our last @LeachLabUCD paper. It was finally not chosen as the cover but I am grateful to @AdvSciNews to let us showcase our work in a frontispiece!

Excited to kick off 2022 with a new paper in Adv Healthc Mater @AdvSciNews by @TomasGF90, @AugustineSaizMD & Alex Tenorio where we combined our engineered ECM with MSC spheroids for markedly improved differentiation response! @UCDavisOrtho @UCDavisBME https://t.co/GPCEIoxnSB

Check out the newest paper from @LeachLabUCD. We made hydrogels mimicking the growth factor-binding nature of ECM. Gels trapped endogenous GFs from MSC spheroids and improved cell invasion. Congrats @MarissaGionet and team! @UCDavisBMEGG @UCDavisOrtho https://t.co/Hai7sayBDF

[Leach Lab @LeachLabUCD]

Big congratulations to the newly minted Dr.@MarissaGionet for passing her PhD defense!🥳🙌 We can't wait to see what you get up to next at UC Santa Barbara! ❤️
