It’s finally out!!🥳 Check out our paper in @NatureMaterials on a new hybrid scaffold where we discover ECM-specific cues that regulate cardiac aging 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4156… This is the lab’s 1st research paper, led by my 1st @NUSBME PhD student @AveryRuiSun🤩 Tweetorial👇

Check out our lab's latest review by @MFarisHazwan @MBIsg @BME_NUS in Current Opinion in Cell Biology @sciencedirect 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/articl… We teamed up w/Brian Aguado @ucsdbe to highlight region- & sex-specificity of #ECM signaling in the aging heart!🫀 Hope you enjoy!

"My" latest review is online now. We need your creativity! 😎 👇👇👇 Collagen Biosynthesis and Its Molecular Ensemble: What Remains Unexplored | Biochemistry pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

🌴 The pipettes are parked, the data can wait — it’s time for ☀️🏄‍♀️ and science naps! Our July newsletter is live, featuring ECM summer vibes, cool papers, a poll, a lab introduction and a researcher spotlight that’ll warm your heart. Read it before we hit snooze 😎 👉🏖️

Excited to be starting my research group as a tenure track Presidential Young Professor at the Mechanobiology Institute @MBIsg, and the Dept of Physiology at @NUSingapore in the fall! More about our work on vascular mechanobiology: mechano-medicine-lab.com

Interested in a #postdoc on cardiac #mechanobiology? Our lab has a fully funded position via our recently awarded @HFSP grant to study the biophysical processes that build insect hearts🪲🪰🫀 Come join us @MBIsg for some cool evo-devo-mechanobio work! 👇 mbi.nus.edu.sg/jobs/seeking-p…

Hot off the press!📢 New review from our lab led by @huanting_ong & Sriram w/@HSusapto @confinementlab @ahcells & Elnathan lab @deakin in Advanced Materials @AdvPortfolio We discuss #mechanobiology in cell engineering & manufacturing Check it out!👇 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

A hybrid ECM-hydrogel with tunable mechanical stiffness and biochemical composition of young or aged cardiac tissue is used to identify the specific contributions of ECM ligands and mechanics for fibroblast aging. @nano_jenn nature.com/articles/s4156…

2nd paper from Mechanobiologics Lab is out in Journal 'Small' @AdvPortfolio. This work led by my 1st PhD student Alka. Superb collaboration with @ahcells & Rudra Pratap @CeNSEatIISc. We discovered how confined spaces in tissue reduce tumor cell killing upon ultrasound treatment.

There’s tons out there about fibroblast #mechanobiology in disease. In @ConfinementLab’s new review in @aplbioeng, Yeji gives you the who/what/where/when/how/why of mechanosensitive fibroblast activation, from CAFs to FAFs and nearly everything in between! pubs.aip.org/aip/apb/articl…

Interested in a #postdoc on nuclear #mechanobiology? We have a fully funded position in the @ConfinementLab designed to help you meet your career goals while researching the rapidly growing field of cellular #confinement. Please get in touch for more info!

A new biomaterial developed by NUS researchers has revealed that the ageing of the heart could be reversed by targeting the heart cell environment rather than the cells. This discovery could pave the way for next-generation heart rejuvenation therapies. news.nus.edu.sg/new-biomateria…

It’s been a long time coming but… so happy my Ph.D. work (part of) is now published on @NatureMaterials 🥳 I remember it all too well about this project, the serendipity and the exciting stories…🧵@nano_jenn @MBIsg @BME_NUS @NUSingapore nature.com/articles/s4156…
