Anti-#COVID19 nasal spray ‘ready for use in humans’ and could inhibit the infection for up to 48 hours, say an Healthcare Technologies Institute (HTI) team based in the ITM > itmbirmingham.co.uk/anti-covid-19-… Dr. Richard Moakes Prof. Liam Grover


Pleased to see our latest paper published npj Journals rdcu.be/cddbM. We demonstrated that a newly formulated LMW-dextran sulfate (ILB®) resolved inflammation in human cell disease models and reduced trabecular meshwork matrix deposition in a rat model of #glaucoma


In this new review we explain fundamental rheology principles for bioinks and suspension media for bioprinting. We describe rheological analyses that can be carried out to characterise these materials and highlight some recent work in the field. Enjoy! aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.…

Delighted to finally share our latest paper in @ISEV_JEV harnessing #epigenetic reprogramming to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of #extracellularvesicles as an acellular tool to promote bone regeneration bit.ly/3AC67Rz Healthcare Technologies Institute (HTI) @IsevComms #tissueengineering #openaccess

Biomechanics is one of the major challenges in biofabrication of implantable tissues. Join me at the #Biomaterials 2.30-3.30 session today at ESBiomech_2021 where I’ll discuss some recent strategies to tackle this.

The custom microfluidic devices reported in this paper simulate microgravity, allowing crack-free growth of 2D porous crystalline molecular frameworks Salvador Pané Vidal Josep Puigmartí-Luis Read the article: ow.ly/pDSt50FGRsE


Interfaces are important in biofabrication. That’s how different material phases (and cells) interact with each other in bioprinted structures. Check out recent review on this topic.
