In conclusion, our hydrogel-based spatiotemporal control strategy of physicochemical biocontainment reduces a critical barrier to deploying #ELMs/#MALMs

Excited to share our @ChemRxiv
preprint on metabolically active living materials #MALMs with physicochemical biocontainment🧵

[Rahul K @theresearch]

How about the metabolic activity in #ELMs?

We found ~40% increase in fermentation in MAA-containing #MALMs

Cell retention and metabolic increases are significant for such applications as releasing drug molecules over time using living therapeutics materials or bioreactors

Pleased to share our latest #AEM publication in @AppEnvMicro showing that #yeast Rhodotorula toruloides can produce exopolysaccharide #biopolymer (h/t @ASMicrobiology). A brief thread🧵

Can a Crabtree negative yeast show carbon overflow metabolism? Check our @biorxivpreprint unraveling this question 👇

Finally, I’m grateful to my research team for tireless efforts, reviewers and the editor for valuable feedback, and funders for this research and publication!

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt “for having explained innovation-driven economic growth” with one half to Mokyr “for having identified the prerequisites for sustained growth through technological progress” and the other half jointly to Aghion and Howitt “for the theory of sustained growth through creative destruction.”
