For the chemists out there, this research started in the early 2000's as one of my job proposals. It only took 20 'short' years to get it to market! Kudos to Zengquan Qin from @TheCoatesCrew who discovered the catalyst, and Scott Allen and the Novomer folks for their hard work.

In my polymer course, I teach that atactic polymers are usually amorphous, and isotactic and syndiotactic polymers are usually semicrystalline with different crystal structures. Methylated PHBs are all crystalline and isomorphic regardless of tacticity! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.102…

Thanks to all involved, including recent @MatsonLab_VT graduate @jackieyz23, and friends from @RbittonL at @bengurionu (Ben-Gurion University in Israel), @LabTheus at @VTBMVS (VA-MD College of Veterinary Medicine). Also @USIsraelBSF and @NIGMS for funding.

Dr. @jackieyz23's paper is out in @NatureComms! This fabulous work (nature.com/articles/s41467-0…) done in collaboration with @LabTheus showcases a way to reproduce the natural symbiosis between cells and their matrix through inclusion of tunable hidden signals!
