In the second story, in a BioRxiv preprint led by PhD student alumnus Ghiska Ramahdita, we studied the impact of tensional anisotropy on fibroblast activation. We developed a second-generation version of Hydrogel Assisted STereolithographic Elastomer (HASTE) prototyping to create

A little late, but excited to share three recent stories from the lab. In the first, co-led by lab alumnus Lavanya Aryan and PhD student Jennifer Esteves, we worked with co-senior author Stacey Rentschler, MD/PhD to study electrical conduction and calcium handling in micro-tissues fashioned either
