Excited to share this preprint from an interesting collaboration combining thermogenetics in bacteria with nanorods that convert light to heat. We can now locally heat and activate our engineered living materials with infrared light for therapeutic applications. LSC Living Therapeutic Materials

Just noticed this now...a nice end to last year - Our paper in the Programmable Living Biomaterials special issue Biomaterials Advances is online: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Super quick and constructive review process! Shardul Bhusari LSC Living Therapeutic Materials SFB 1027

Happy to share one of the very first collaborative ventures of LSC Living Therapeutic Materials. All credits go to Selim and team. Stay tuned for upcoming collaborative work!!!! Shardul Bhusari Shrikrishnan Sankaran doi.org/10.1016/j.bioa…

The LSC Consortium has started to spread its wings. Fruitful collaborations indeed bring amazing results.
