New publication alert! 🎉 Seema Mital and team published an exciting study today in Cell Reports Medicine on a possible treatment for pediatric #HypertrophicCardiomyopathy using myosin inhibitors, following their win of a TRCHR #InnovationAward! Read More: tedrogersresearch.ca/2024/04/new-st…



Our latest study, led by Homaira Hamidzada. Hard to study #macrophages (MFs) in early human heart development (no tissue). Homaira integrated human ES-derived-MFs into beating cardiac microtissues & improvedđź«€function. rdcu.be/dHbj0. #cardioimmunology #regeneration.


Really neat collab work led by Slava Epelman out today in Nature Cardiovascular Research using our Biowire to learn how primitive macrophages help cardiac tissue. Better mitochondria Homaira Hamidzada rocks yimu zhao Shira Landau Levi

Better mitochondria, healthier heart! Check out the new amazing publication in Nature Cardiovascular Research Shira Landau Levi Homaira Hamidzada

Very excited to share our latest work focused on hPSC-macrophages in human cardiac microtissue function, now published in Nature Cardiovascular Research and featured on the cover! (Ella Marushchenko) Slava Epelman




Visit our booth (#52) at the Microphysiological Systems (MPS) World Summit in Seattle and connect with Dr. Marilia Ramos to learn more about CRAFT and its partnerships opportunities. Bonus: get a sneak peak at the Acceleration Consortium (AC) self-driving lab in human organ mimicry.



It was awesome to open the day with a Keynote at MPS World Summit yesterday CRAFT Acceleration Consortium (AC) booth was super well visited, great to see so many alumni yimu zhao #organonachip #organoid


Both Editor-in-Chief and Executive Editor of ACS Biomat Sci & Eng got inducted into US National Academy of Inventors National Academy of Inventors the same year #NAI2024 Congrats David! American Chemical Society



Awesome team effort with our lab Shira Landau Levi yimu zhao and Homaira Hamidzada Slava Epelman primirive macrophages make a huge difference in vascularization of cardiac tissues

We are in a unique position in history to test molecules on real human tissues. But what is the best model? Read in our newest paper rdcu.be/dMwei led by @zhaoyimu @shiralandaulevi @bzhanglab in Nature Reviews Bioengineering with help from Christine Horejs Sadra Bakhshandeh


Researchers Toronto General Hospital Research Institute & McEwen Stem Cell Institute have discovered how early macrophages influence human heart development. The team engineered heart tissue with #stemcell-derived macrophages to model heart development. > uhnresearch.ca/news/immunoeng…; doi.org/10.1038/s44161… UHN Foundation
