Tue 10 Dec 2024   12:15 - 12:45	SEMS seminar: Dr Josephine Wu, Trinity College Dublin Centre for Bioengineering Title: Engineering Spatiotemporal Cues for Directed Formation of Musculoskeletal Tissues Abstract: Joint disease is detrimental to basic quality of life and effective treatments are lacking. Tissue engineering has the potential to offer more biologically faithful tissues derived with minimal invasiveness, but the resulting tissues currently lack the full composition, organization, and function of native tissue. In normal joint development, finely coordinated spatiotemporal gradients of...

Wed 2 Apr 2025   15:00 - 16:00	Queen Mary Bioengineering Seminar Series - Dr Alberto Elosegui-Artola, The Francis Crick Institute Centre for Bioengineering Title The ECM viscoelasticity controls tissue spatiotemporal dynamics Abstract The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) regulate cellular processes during development, cancer and wound healing. Despite the universality of the ECM's viscoelasticity, how viscoelasticity affects tissue function is unknown. I will present our results where we show that the passive viscoelastic properties of the ECM regulate tissue architecture and patterning both during development and...
