#WashUMed researchers led by Farshid Guilak have engineered cartilage cells to produce an anti-inflammatory drug in response to mechanical stress associated with movement and weight-bearing. Published in Science Advances. The Guilak Lab medicine.wustl.edu/news/smart-car…

Synthetic biology & tissue engineering came together to generate genetically engineered cartilage that can deliver an anti-inflammatory drug in response to movements that put stress on joints. #synbio The Guilak Lab MaybeItsBob Farshid Guilak bit.ly/3r7OVxU

Our lab is recruiting two post-docs on two newly funded projects on primitive collagens and ECM-based regeneration. Exciting collaborations with Dr. Eiki Koyama, Dyment Lab, Mauck Lab, The Heo Lab .

Please Re-tweet! We're recruiting Postdocs - biologists & bioengineers - join a great team & live in the DC area! Mechanobiology of embryonic tendon development; therapeutics for adult tendon regeneration; interventions for birth defects. Click on ad for details. Thanks!

Tomorrow! Bioengineering and pregnancy webinar with @alysrclark and Kyoko Yoshida -- details at journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-the…

Incredible study by Natalia Harasymowicz getting at the whodunnit of obesity induced inflammation - excited to see where this work goes!

At NIH, KizzyPhD says: "When we got those sequences, because we knew how to make that protein as a very good vaccine, we did that really quickly over the weekend." President Donald J. Trump: "Over the weekend." KizzyPhD: "Over the weekend. You know something about working on weekends, right?"

OK I found my words. I am howling with rage tonight at the rising tide of violence and hate crimes directed towards Asians in America, punctuated by the horrific shootings yesterday in Georgia at 3 Asian-owned business that claimed 8 lives, including those of 6 Asian women.

Great new paper by Whasil_URochester showing how inflammation provokes cellular mechanosensitivity through Piezo1. Great working with Wolfgang Liedtke’s lab, McNulty Lab, Alireza Savadipour, Farshid Guilak

And here is the press release on Whasil_URochester's paper on Piezo sensitization in chondrocytes by IL-1! Excited to see where she next takes this project in her lab! news-medical.net/news/20210323/…

Wonderful review led by mollyklimak is now out - surveying the latest advances in immunoengineered technologies for treating arthritis.

Is there anything TRPV4 can't do? Our paper just out in STEM CELLS Journal by Vince Willard shows that #TRPV4 is not just a marker of chondrogenesis, it also regulates it in #iPSCs! w/ Holly Leddy, Daniel Palmer, Chia-Lung Wu, & Wolfgang Liedtke Regeneron …cellsjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
