Joining @ISBioFab & interested in geometry-driven cell modulation?
Come by my talk on Sunday on #MeltElectrowriting directional constraining to guide expression of key cardio markers 🫀
Let's chat #Fibers & #Hearts!

It was amazing to attend the #FutureBiomaterials conf last week @lunduniversity & engage w/key players in the #DataDriven field from academia&industry. Smaller conferences have a special charm & foster deeper connections —Excited for the outlook of complexity in biomaterials!

It was a pleasure to talk at @MDRresearch about our work on #MeltElectroWriting microfibers to organize & stimulate cardiac & skeletal muscle.
Thankful for the interactions and to
@josmalda @RMUtrecht @MiguCastilho @TUeindhoven for the chance & support
💡What if we could guide cell organization & stimulate dynamically as 2 independent processes? Here's our solution, out now in Small 👇
🧲#MeltElectroWriting magnetized microfiber meshes guide myoblasts to form organized myotubes & mechanically activate centimeter-sized hydrogels
Read our latest work on magneto active fiber scaffolds for engineering muscle tissue onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…. Congratz to the team and especially to my co-author @gecedillo ! Thanks to @MiguCastilho @Niels_Geijsen @josmalda and Dr. Fanny Sage

Truly thrilled to share my first PhD paper sharing lead with the amazing #AnaLouro & great team @UMCU_Intl @TUeindhoven @ibetportugal
We show how superporous fiber meshes in hydrogels tune release of encapsulated #ExtracellularVesicles prolonging their pro-angiogenic effect 👇
New work led by @gecedillo and #AnaLouro @ibetportugal just out @BiomaterialsAdv.
We present a fiber-reinforced hydrogel-based biomaterial, providing tunable and sustained release of extracellular vesicles to promote angiogenesis

It was great to share our work on #MeltElectroWriting to guide organization in myocardial tissues 🫀💪 — thanks @ESBiomech and till next time, beautiful Maastricht!
Wonderful days with (part of the) team at #ESBiomech2023 @ESBiomech. Proud to see your presentations!! Biomaterials D&P tem @TUeindhoven @gecedillo
Thank you @SyisEu for the free membership!
This is my first year as a member and attendee — excited to see you soon at @TermisEU2023 !
Thanks to TERMIS Global, we are giving away 20 memberships for 2023! If your name is amongst the winners, please re-tweet!
Congrats to all winners and hope to see you all at @TermisEU2023!

Thrilled to see this preprint out now! #MeltElectroWriting of magnetic active fiber platforms for guiding skeletal muscle with mechanical stimuli — So excited to keep pushing towards more versatile #InVitroModels! @RMUtrecht
Our team has developed a new strategy using magneto-active microfiber meshes to guide cellular organization and mechanically stimulate skeletal muscle growth. Proud of @gecedillo & @OuafaDahri and all collaborators. Available at biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #skeletalmuscle #3dprinting

It was so great to meet up with this dream team again!
🤗Thanks to all partners for the presentations & the effort to participate in our 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗩∃ 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 2022!
We have come a long way in our project. On to the following challenges!🚀 We continue!

Proudly representing @brav3_eu 🦾🫀 in Tuscany @Biofab2022 !
Always great to catch up with Tomasz Jüngst & Johannes Braig from @Biofabwue. Looking forward to meeting again later this year in @ibetportugal with the whole @brav3_eu team!
@josmalda @MiguCastilho @juergengroll
So grateful for the chance to present & discuss our work on printing of magnetic fiber scaffolds for muscle stimulation 🧲🦾 In person (finally!) & live from Montecatini, Italy @Biofab2022
@josmalda @MiguCastilho @UMCU_Intl @RMUtrecht
Great catch up with our multinational/multidiscipline team this week! Lots of progress on the 3D printing, modeling & bioreactor culture/maturation of engineered cardiac tissue 🦾 — we're halfway towards the biological VAD!🫀
🫀New working day of our Midyear Meetings!
👉Today, we focus on electrophysiological validation of healthy in silico models, mechanical characterization of cardiac tissue & advances in #3Dprinting of cardio-conductive fiber-reinforced systems. #BioVad #biomaterials #MEW #CVD
It's been so exciting to work together with teams from @UMCU_Intl @RMUtrecht @Cardio_KULeuven & others on pilot tests, and now planning the upcoming first #BioVAD transplants. A bright path ahead with @brav3_eu!
Professor @JSluijter is drafting plans for the first bio#BioVAD transplants within the following weeks. Very excited about it! @UMCUtrecht
Project work-meeting in Leuven🇧🇪

Be sure to join the many presentations @biofab2021 from the @josmalda lab team
On this 1st day we'll hear a keynote by @RicLevato, talks by @MiguCastilho @MylenedeRuijter @MadiAinsworth @Margo_Terpstra
& myself, & 4 posters from the team
Join us & reach out! #Biofab2021
Excited to kick off @biofab2021 with an inspiring plenary!
Prof Peter Choong (@StVincentsMelb) reminds us: Translational medicine, at all stages from research to surgery, needs continuous –daily even– innovation & questioning. Is the work relevant & impactful?
Cells are the original actuators! Why not steer them towards programmable shape-shifting? (with the right materials of course...)
Amazing work led by @Fiber_Matt
– Congrats!
Interested in synthetic materials that support cellular self-assembly, programmable contraction, and can be processed with biofabrication? Check out our new preprint on fibrous assemblies developed by @Fiber_Matt. @pennbioeng
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
So happy to share that I have joined the Biofabrication lab @UMCU_Intl @UtrechtUni as a PhD student with @MiguCastilho and @josmalda.
I am very grateful for the warm welcome amid these strange times! Let's help repair some hearts with #3Dprinting!🫀🦾 @brav3_eu
