Preliminary data for CRX100 indicate that this treatment could alter the tumor microenvironment to improve responses to other therapies in patients with recurrent, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. @StanfordMed #ovca #oncology onclive.com/view/early-data-…

At @MSUIQ, Dr @ccontag highlights how, with #creativity, imagination and a futuristic mindset, #biomedical #engineers can change the world. What could you achieve with a #career in #biomedicalengineering? futurumcareers.com/can-we-en…
ALT “Biomedical engineering is a broad field that can impact everything from food production to space exploration. In this field, your primary limitation is your ability, or inability, to imagine the future!” Dr Christopher Contag, Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering, Colleges of Engineering and Human Medicine, Michigan State University, USA

If damaged tissues could be repaired in the body, it could remove the need for #organdonation. At @MSUIQ, Dr @ccontag is #engineering #bacteria to do just this. While this might sound like #sciencefiction, Chris believes it could revolutionise #medicine. futurumcareers.com/can-we-en…
Heather Hazzard is the college of Engineering awardee for the Gloria Stragier award for dedicated and creative service award—congratulations Heather!
Proud of Dr. Brian Johnson being awarded the Withrow teaching excellence award at the College of Engineering award ceremony!

Lynn Margulis, the biologist who worked on symbiosis in evolution, was born #OnThisDay in 1938. Her work, which asserted that features of living cells were once independent bacteria, was dismissed for years before becoming accepted thanks to genetic evidence. #WomenInSTEM

The reasons I think it's essential for #ScienceTwitter and #MedTwitter to stay with @Twitter right now
—Spread the truth/facts/good info
—Counter & stand up to mis/dis-information
—No suitable alternative for reach
—There's still block and mute
—Don't give up hope for improvement
Our series of preprints describing the mechanism driving inflammatory responses to tissue implants and its control is available on BioRxiv--thanks to Dr. Chima Maduka for leading these efforts!

Congratulations Carolyn!
Now, that’s a team that clicks! Thanks for sharing JP.
Feeling all the feels this morn…Congratulations, @CarolynBertozzi and Profs. Sharpless and Meldal!!! Here’s a throwback photo in honor of #bioorthogonal chemistry. #ChemNobel
Ordinary spectacular events happen every day and go unnoticed. Pleased to have captured this moment that the light reflected off the setting moon is again reflected off the lake surface— an appreciated ordinary event that was spectacular, and will likely happen again tomorrow.
Dr. Chima Maduka's preprint on polylactide degradation activating immune cells via metabolic reprogramming demonstrates how to control chronic inflammation to implanted materials. Beautiful study that will improve tissue engineering. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Thanks to all our collaborators who contributed to the transformational results for implantable materials in Maduka et al., “Polylactide Degradation Activates Immune Cells by Metabolic Reprogramming” biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Congratulations to Dr. Ripla Arora, PhD, the recipient of the Jean P. Schultz Research Award. Dr. Arora is an assistant professor in the Dept. of Ob/Gyn and Reproductive Biol. at MSU, and an outstanding member of the Institute for Quantitative Health Science and Engineering.
“Think outside, no box required.” A cathartic morning in the Wind River Range, time to think and to find a few native Wyoming cut-throat trout. Unlike the day-to-day, clouds in the Wind River Range enrich the beauty.
Dr. Saha's work is highlighted as he seeks innovative new tools for early detection of cancer.

After building embryoids for 10 years, we succeeded in generating structures with brains, hearts, neural tubes, somites with a yolk sac. Both original submissions using two different approaches are on BioRxiv, to be published soon. eur03.safelinks.protection.o…
