Thrilled to share that Ashley Murphy's vascularised fat microchip is published in #Small with Rose Ann Franco! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Ash engineered platforms to differentiate adipose tissue simultaneous to vascularisation, and found vessels significantly enhanced fat formation.

@arc-tracker.bsky.social is there a reason to the order of a rejoinder’s detailed reviewer comments? I remember hearing it’s in order of scores (first=highest rank) but unsure if that’s correct. #LP25r1

Ope just read your thread and saw sEPO not upregulated - sorry for posting not reading! Wonder if OB EPO release cannot be systemically detected

Mark Allenby @mcallenby.bsky.social · Jan 16

I love marrow RBC production! Some prior studies found OBs to be a local source of EPO in marrow endosteal niches - I don’t see it in your figures but you think it could be related?

I would also very much second your opinion. Inkscape is amazing and is constantly improving.
Here also a link to a video from the Halfway to I2K conference showing the combination of ImageJ/Fiji with Inkscape for proper editing and high quality figure output. Hope it helps somebody!

Synthetic peripheral vascular grafts are plagued by high rates of restenosis due to nonphysiological mechanics. The brilliant Sabrina engineered a patient-specific FSI CFD pipeline to identify how bypass graft materials and surgical anastamosis angle can achieve more physiological mechanics.

Do you love 🍔BigMACS🍔 as much as we do? Big mechanically-active culture systems, that is! We just released a computational tissue engineering preprint from Sabrina’s PhD thesis on simulating soft robot MSC bioreactors. A team effort across universities and countries.
