Happy to share my first postdoc publication in Christopher Moraes' lab at @mcgill.ca! We discuss how biomechanical sensors in engineered tissues reveal new insights into cancer, fibrosis, and clinical translation challenges. Check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 👇
Emerging views of biomechanics via embedded sensors in model tissues: pathways to the clinic
Mechanical features of tissues have been recognised as key drivers of disease progression and are increasingly investigated as diagnostic and therapeu…

Kicking off 2025 with a publication! This collab btw @drwillerth.bsky.social & @TheElviraLab explores atRA’s effect on smart bioinks. Proud to share co-first authorship with Maria Hangad, my undergrad mentee during my PhD @uvic.bsky.social. Full paper here 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Investigating How All‐Trans Retinoic Acid Polycaprolactone (atRA‐PCL) Microparticles Alter the Material Properties of 3D Printed Fibrin Constructs
The presence of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) in polycaprolactone (PCL) microparticles can promote the degradation of fibrin constructs. This highlights the need for a more careful consideration of ...

I curated a list of really smart scientists (and me) of Latin American and/or Hispanic background to follow… Still trying to figure out Bsky, so I apologize if there’s already one going around. Please help spread the word, and let me know if you’d like to be added.

I didn't find a specific mechanotransduction starter pack, so I open one myself😊. There are still a lot of people to be added, but it's late, so please drop me a message or post here to nominate yourself for the Mechanotransduction community.
