The Mata Lab

We are an interdisciplinary group working on developing supramolecular biomaterials and fabrication processes to tackle challenges in regenerative medicine

[Yan Yan Shery Huang @Biointerface_CU]

Check out our Perspective on emerging #biofabrication and #biomanufacturing technologies, with @ArnoldLiningJu
With innovative design & system #EngineeringBio, we hope to move closer to making functional human tissues and organs at scale.

🥳Our review on #Swarming Intelligence in #nanomotors, idea conceived years ago, the basis of my @ERC_Research CoG (i-Nanoswarms), is now published in @NatRevMater https://t.co/PVrVibtAPU Great collaboration with @ayusmansen @ahortelao @ShuqinChen5 @tania_patino_

[The Mata Lab @Mata_Lab]

Great talk by Helena Azevedo @mhatricell from @i3S_UPorto on smart peptide-based strategies for immunomodulation. We were lucky @UoN_BDI @UoN_RMCT to have her visit.

[Molecular Biomaterials Group @mhatricell]

Incredibly proud of the fantastic line-up of invited speakers in the @MOBILIsE_EU 1st #molecular #bioengineering symposium! Early Bird Registration & Abstract Submission are open, but will close soon (12 March 2025)! Looking forward to your submissions & participation!😊

[Molecular Biomaterials Group @mhatricell]

Couldn't be prouder about having Jeffrey Hubbell @nyutandon, a #bioengineer & a giant in #biomaterials, in our 1st @MOBILIsE_EU symposium @i3S_UPorto. He is developing innovative biomaterials to stimulate the #immune system to fight #cancer or #infection.

[Fiona J. Whelan @whelanfj]

🚨 The Whelan lab is hiring! 🚨 We are looking for a PDRA to join our lab at U of Manchester. We & collab @Mata_Lab are seeking someone interested in interdisciplinary techniques to est a hydrogel biofilm model to study microbe-pathogen interactions

Studying water's behaviour is tricky – how do you distinguish between a hydrogen-bonded water and an unbonded one? New research has used x-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy to detect changes in local hydrogen-bonding, as @philipcball explores.

Elegant work Cosimo!

[Cosimo Ligorio @CosLigorio]

Happy to share our latest publication on J Mater Chem B. Here, we developed a gentle method to disassemble self-assembling peptide hydrogels, allowing high-yield recovery of encapsulated cells for further cell manipulation. @Mata_Lab @AOCMF_BOOST @NottmBRC https://t.co/ZJcHYD3jL4

[Heilshorn Lab @heilshornlab]

📢 We're so excited to share our new review paper on engineered protein hydrogels! @Yueming_L and @aidan_gilchrist discuss how amino acid sequences can be designed for tunable control over scaffold properties in cell culture applications. @AdvSciNews
