Congratulations to Cosimo Ligorio and Amrita Vijay, winner and runner up of the JAM presentation session at our recent MSIR theme event! The Mata Lab

Happy to share our latest publication on J Mater Chem B. Here, we developed a gentle method to disassemble self-assembling peptide hydrogels, allowing high-yield recovery of encapsulated cells for further cell manipulation. The Mata Lab AOCMF_BOOST NIHR Nottingham BRC bit.ly/4eINU8A

So happy to see this out!

Congrats Cathy and the whole team! Happy to see this finally out!

What a performance. What a game. To a man, the Rossoneri were brilliant tonight. Bravi ragazzi!!! 👏 #RealMilan #UCL #SempreMilan

We often think of an "equilibrium" as something standing still, like a scale in perfect balance. But many equilibria are dynamic, like a flowing river which is never changing—yet never standing still. These dynamic equilibria are nicely described by so-called "detailed balance"
