Senior Lecturer at The University of Queensland. Bioplatforms for manufacturing and testing blood and vascular cell therapies.
Thrilled to share that Ashley Murphy's vascularised fat microchip is published in #Small with Rose Ann Franco! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Ash engineered platforms to differentiate adipose tissue simultaneous to vascularisation, and found vessels significantly enhanced fat formation.

@arc-tracker.bsky.social is there a reason to the order of a rejoinder’s detailed reviewer comments? I remember hearing it’s in order of scores (first=highest rank) but unsure if that’s correct. #LP25r1

I would also very much second your opinion. Inkscape is amazing and is constantly improving.
Here also a link to a video from the Halfway to I2K conference showing the combination of ImageJ/Fiji with Inkscape for proper editing and high quality figure output. Hope it helps somebody!

Synthetic peripheral vascular grafts are plagued by high rates of restenosis due to nonphysiological mechanics. The brilliant Sabrina engineered a patient-specific FSI CFD pipeline to identify how bypass graft materials and surgical anastamosis angle can achieve more physiological mechanics.
