Biofabrication and Characterization of Vascularizing PEG‐Norbornene Microgels Establishing a robust, functional microvascular network remains a critical challenge for both the revascularization of damaged or diseased tissues and the development of engineered biological materia....

I am excited to share that the final paper from my graduate work has now been published! Thank you to everyone at UM who helped me push this over the finish line! This work focuses on the development of vascularizing PEG-based microgels! Check it our here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Delighted to share my latest work, co-first authored with fantastic undergrad mentee Joshua Lee, on highly entangled hydrogels with photolabile crosslinks. We compare selective crosslink cleavage (which lengthens chains) to non-selective photo-oxidative degradation. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

Synthetic Photoresponsive Hydrogels Enable In Situ Control Over Murine Intestinal Monolayer Differentiation and Crypt Formation A synthetic photoresponsive hydrogel containing allyl sulfide crosslinks is developed for the culture of murine intestinal monolayers. Lithographic irradiation is used to spatiotemporally soften the ....

⭐️ Fresh online, new publication from the Anseth lab! ⭐️ Congrats, Mark Young! #intestinalorganoids
