Discover how magnetic biofabrication creates chondrogenic assembloids in unique shapes. 🧲 In her master thesis, Maya predicted assembloid shape using a computational model. Great job, Maya! youtu.be/awYaoMlFp8s?si… via YouTube

More info will follow soon, but perhaps the logo already gives a hint!

📢 Dear mechanobiologists, we are very happy to announce that Sylvain GABRIELE Bart Smeets and MAtrix labs will organize #cellmech2025 at Leuven in Belgium 🇧🇪 🗓️Save the date and stay tuned for more infos very soon: cellmech2025.org

This year's edition of the BSTE symposium will take place in Leuven!

How do single cells drive tissue fusion 🔵🟡 → 🟢? We explore the physics of active foams in spheroid fusion and reveal how microscopic fluidity governs visco-elastic tissue properties. Fun collab with Ioannis Papantoniou Tom Belpaire ! #biophysics #activematter biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🎉 Congrats to Maya Guilliams for winning BOTH the jury and public prize at the VBI Student Research Awards! 🏆👏 She presented her computer models for the magnetic assembly of spheroids in bone tissue engineering. Amazing work, Maya! 🙌 Ioannis Papantoniou

People usually think replication attempts in science are rare. Journals don't publish replications, so scientists don't do them. In reality there are countless replication attempts (and failures), it's just PhD students assume they did something wrong journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
