Alien invasion!!! 👾 Under in vitro culture, a #human #mesenchymal #stemcell crawls into an #osteocyte lacuna (bit.ly/Osteocyte) at the #bone surface, observed by scanning #electron #microscopy 🔬🦴 Forget shape-memory #alloys! #Cells remember! (Arrowheads = bone #mineral)

Last week I was in Copenhagen where I attended the #FishAsExperimentalAnimals course 🐟🧬🔬UCPH Healthscience! Learned so much from some amazing lectures, got to try my hand at CRISPR🧬, and had a blast overall. Can you put an implant into a fish? 🤔#phdlife

When your NanoWizard 4 XP Atomic Force Microscope from Bruker Bruker Nano Surfaces & Metrology arrives but the acoustic enclosure and the vibration isolation system are too large to fit in the elevator! How do we do this Furqan Shah? #NewBeginnings #Microscopy #Biomaterials

Proud to see that our paper on #osseointegration of laser-modified titanium implants, work done in collaboration with Martin Johansson and Hanna Peters from Oticon Medical is cited 100 times, within a few short years. bit.ly/3rAS1Ao Sahlgrenska Academy Göteborgs universitet / University of Gothenburg

🦴🔬 Exciting findings on #collagen & #bone mineral at the nanoscale! Led by @michelettic_, our paper in ACS Nano shows that nanosized "holes" in bone cross-sections are in fact collagen fibrils.

#Vascularization in #bone. Sample prep methods such as deproteinisation can be used to remove all cells and organic matrix from bone, to observe #blood vessels emerging at the bone #surface using scanning electron microscopy, and determine their density and size distribution.

If you were wondering how #dental #enamel resists years of damage/wear, the "enamel rods" are tightly packed, long structures composed of hydroxy(l)apatite nanowires. This highly organized pattern of enamel rods achieves exceptional durability and resistance to mechanical stress.
