⏰ Set your reminders! Graeme, Isla and Andy Grist will be on the @BBCBreakfast couch at 8:10am tomorrow (22nd May).
Please watch Graeme & Isla's video to see the challenges that people living with EB, like Isla, face in their day-to-day life. 🦋

🦋 Does EB only affect the skin? 🦋 EB is certainly more than just skin deep. The physical symptoms can also manifest internally as well as have a profound effect on a person's well-being #EBAwarenessWeek

Congratulations to our amazing @CDTLifETIME PhD student, @HannahCLamont on her first publication! In this paper we discuss 3D modelling of the eye’s trabecular meshwork for #glaucoma research. @HTIbham @unibham_SoBMS

A flow device allows control of the height and in situ purification of chemical gardens, which can be encased in a photoset hydrogel for subsequent applications @erikhughes20 @_TomERobinson @RichardMoakes @MirunaChipara @DWLiam @HTIbham go.nature.com/3joCWL5

In this paper, Erik Hughes shows how it is possible to precisely control the growth of calcium phosphate tubes from a surface. Lots of possibilities for how they can be used. Nice one Erik 👏👏

Interfaces are important in biofabrication. That’s how different material phases (and cells) interact with each other in bioprinted structures. Check out recent review on this topic. Congrats @Martina52072149 for the great work. @RMUtrecht @UUPharmaceutics @TUeindhoven @Uni_WUE

Biomechanics is one of the major challenges in biofabrication of implantable tissues. Join me at the #Biomaterials 2.30-3.30 session today at @ESBiomech_2021 where I’ll discuss some recent strategies to tackle this. At the crossroad of two research societies @ISBioFab @ESBiomech

Delighted to finally share our latest paper in @ISEV_JEV harnessing #epigenetic reprogramming to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of #extracellularvesicles as an acellular tool to promote bone regeneration bit.ly/3AC67Rz @HTIbham @IsevComms #tissueengineering #openaccess
Lovely to see this paper out and published in AHM with @DWLiam @HTIbham onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
In the paper we show that it’s possible to create shear thinning materials that are injectable but able to present specific biological stimuli

In this new review we explain fundamental rheology principles for bioinks and suspension media for bioprinting. We describe rheological analyses that can be carried out to characterise these materials and highlight some recent work in the field. Enjoy! aip.scitation.org/doi/10.106…

Pleased to see our latest paper published @Nature_NPJ rdcu.be/cddbM. We demonstrated that a newly formulated LMW-dextran sulfate (ILB®) resolved inflammation in human cell disease models and reduced trabecular meshwork matrix deposition in a rat model of #glaucoma

This video is well worth a watch. EB is a terrible condition and anything that we can do to help deliver technologies to prevent the worst of these symptoms will be worth it. Charitable contributions to @CharityDEBRA help drive forwards work like this.
📰| A new spray for treating severely painful blisters, mouth ulceration and oral scarring in patients with #EpidermolysisBullosa (EB) is being developed by @HTIbham
and @InflamAge_UoB researchers and funded by @CharityDEBRA
