Microsoft Research has released BioGPT, a large language model trained on biomedical research literature. The model achieves better-than-human performance on answering questions from the biomedical literature, as evaluated on PubMedQA. The code for the github.com/microsoft/BioG…

How cheap, you ask? Same question I asked Benedict Diederich: “what’s the cheapest microscope we can do for this detection?” And so the #ESP32 #microscope was born. Less than 10€, mostly 3D printed, wifi, and fully open: github.com/Matchboxscope/… 7/12

HUGE NEWS! In our new preprint, we introduce “grayscale image z-stack-guided multiphoton optical-lithography” (GIZMO) to rapidly photomodulate materials in full 3D non-binary patterns at sub-µm resolutions spanning large volumes (>mm3). biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Paper 🧵 (1/19)

It's really great to see our review online now in Trends in Biotechnology "Engineering complex tissue-like microenvironments with biomaterials and biofabrication" cell.com/trends/biotech… Thanks Laboratory for Orthopaedic Technology - ETH Zurich & matteo.deste for your wonderful support!

I have been fooled by such images. They very much suggest that the balance of pulling forces along microtubules center the array. ...

Let me introduce: InstanSeg 🦠🔬💻👩‍🔬 This *would* have been a short thread about Thibaut Goldsborough’s PhD work… but he solved too many problems. Now it's a long thread about 2 preprints, a whole new approach to cell segmentation & #opensource software to make it easy to use

Our October issue is online! cell.com/trends/biotech… Biotech for textiles, LNP corona engineering (Morteza Mahmoudi, PhD), physical patterning for engineered tissues (Hannah Zlotnick Mauck Lab), biofabricating tissue-like microenvironments (Gregor Miklosic Laboratory for Orthopaedic Technology - ETH Zurich matteo.deste),

Featured on the front cover of Science Advances today, my lab reports a universal strategy for decoupling stiffness and extensibility of polymer networks.

Our latest study highlights the critical role of stiffness in influencing nucleus pulposus cell phenotype, informing future hydrogel-based strategies for disc modeling and regeneration. Thrilled to see my doctoral work now online in #CarbohydratePolymers! doi.org/10.1016/j.carb…

PREPRINT OUT ✨ "hack" your microscope to work as a 3D printer! print micrometer sized features at cm scale. a method for easy and cheap microfabrication, with a focus on biological applications. THREAD ↓ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Bioinks can be photopolymerized without photoinitiators and without free radicals. Special thanks to leading authors Gregor Miklosic and Ezgi İrem Bektaş, to Alisa Hangartner and to the Fidia Farmaceutici R&D Discovery team for the fruitful collaboration doi.org/10.1016/j.actb…
