⏰ Set your reminders! Graeme, Isla and Andy Grist will be on the @BBCBreakfast couch at 8:10am tomorrow (22nd May).

Please watch Graeme & Isla's video to see the challenges that people living with EB, like Isla, face in their day-to-day life. 🦋

🦋 Does EB only affect the skin? 🦋 EB is certainly more than just skin deep. The physical symptoms can also manifest internally as well as have a profound effect on a person's well-being #EBAwarenessWeek

Congratulations to our amazing @CDTLifETIME PhD student, @HannahCLamont on her first publication! In this paper we discuss 3D modelling of the eye’s trabecular meshwork for #glaucoma research. @HTIbham @unibham_SoBMS

A flow device allows control of the height and in situ purification of chemical gardens, which can be encased in a photoset hydrogel for subsequent applications @erikhughes20 @_TomERobinson @RichardMoakes @MirunaChipara @DWLiam @HTIbham https://t.co/MOu4D9ZRCA

In this paper, Erik Hughes shows how it is possible to precisely control the growth of calcium phosphate tubes from a surface. Lots of possibilities for how they can be used. Nice one Erik 👏👏

Interfaces are important in biofabrication. That’s how different material phases (and cells) interact with each other in bioprinted structures. Check out recent review on this topic. Congrats @Martina52072149 for the great work. @RMUtrecht @UUPharmaceutics @TUeindhoven @Uni_WUE

[Dr. Richard Moakes @RichardMoakes]

@MiguCastilho @ISBioFab Excellent news, well done!

The custom microfluidic devices reported in this paper simulate microgravity, allowing crack-free growth of 2D porous crystalline molecular frameworks

Biomechanics is one of the major challenges in biofabrication of implantable tissues. Join me at the #Biomaterials 2.30-3.30 session today at @ESBiomech_2021 where I’ll discuss some recent strategies to tackle this. At the crossroad of two research societies @ISBioFab @ESBiomech

Delighted to finally share our latest paper in @ISEV_JEV harnessing #epigenetic reprogramming to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of #extracellularvesicles as an acellular tool to promote bone regeneration https://t.co/qkZN3SgaOL @HTIbham @IsevComms #tissueengineering #openaccess

[Dr. Richard Moakes @RichardMoakes]

The materials are formed using a PEG back bone, meaning that the potential for modification is huge!

[Dr. Richard Moakes @RichardMoakes]

Lovely to see this paper out and published in AHM with @DWLiam @HTIbham https://t.co/Zrzqysuuua

[Dr. Richard Moakes @RichardMoakes]

In the paper we show that it’s possible to create shear thinning materials that are injectable but able to present specific biological stimuli

[Meg Cooke, PhD @megscooke]

In this new review we explain fundamental rheology principles for bioinks and suspension media for bioprinting. We describe rheological analyses that can be carried out to characterise these materials and highlight some recent work in the field. Enjoy! https://t.co/F1n3C7rXyi

[Lisa Hill @Neuroscience_Dr]

Pleased to see our latest paper published @Nature_NPJ https://t.co/viCTYNyhrQ. We demonstrated that a newly formulated LMW-dextran sulfate (ILB®) resolved inflammation in human cell disease models and reduced trabecular meshwork matrix deposition in a rat model of #glaucoma

Anti-#COVID19 nasal spray ‘ready for use in humans’ and could inhibit the infection for up to 48 hours, say an @HTIbham team based in the ITM >
