Was an honor - and also great fun - to present our work conducted in Yan Yan Shery Huang (@cam.ac.uk) and Y. Shrike Zhang (@harvard.edu Med School) labs on merging cryogenic and (bio)fabrication approaches last week at @eutermis.bsky.social 2025!

Bioprinted optoelectronically active cardiac tissues Optoelectronically active scaffolds modulate the beating of cardiac tissues while offering tissue regeneration capabilities.

Perfect timing as we are nearing Valentine's Day❤️
We have put micro-solar cells in bioinks and show how we can use light to stimulate and influence cells from the heart (cardiomyocytes) and increase the beating rate by over 40%. This enables us to stimulate the cells without genetic modification.

An in vitro model for studying crosstalk between muscle cells and neurons Muscle contraction and exercise are critical for peripheral nerve growth and innervation. Studying this interplay is challenging given the difficulty of decoupling mechanical from biochemical stimulat...

So exciting to see our newest paper on muscle-nerve crosstalk featured in this @cellpress.bsky.social Device perspective - thanks to Claudia Loebel and team for highlighting our work! 💪🏽
