The #FellMuirAwardee, Kim Midwood at #BSMB2025!

There should be an option that says "all of the above" 😂

What about: "how can we make sure fundamental knowledge is not lost with newer generations of #ECMatrix scientists?"

The manuscript describing the aortic dissection phenotype of Fbn1G234D/G234D was just accepted last week. The cell-specific handling of the mutant FBN1 protein is also seen in the aorta.

Interesting new paper on muscular dystrophy due to Col6 mutation indicates role for altered basal TGFB and failure to upregulate TGFB post injury. "Collagen type VI regulates TGF-β bioavailability in skeletal muscle in mice" jci.org/articles/view/…

May is here, flowers are blooming and we have sooo much for u!!!! Go through our newsletter for a recap of our latest talk, hot off the press papers, career opportunities, spotlight interview with Ekasit Sonpho (Program) & upcoming events. All in one place!!! Chloé Yeung Julie S Di Martino and Co

Not sure I'm the expert, but definitely we're all about the #ECMatrix (well, #CollagenI) with a dabble of #CircadianRhythms 😆

Happy to share our new paper on a novel mouse model of fetal aortic dissection. doi.org/10.1161/CIRCRE… Congratulations to Ken and the team. We are grateful for the international collaboration!!!!

Wow! What a day for #CureIPF & #ATS2025! First positive drug trial in 10 years in IPF!! Treatment with Nerandomilast -> ⬇️FVC decline compared to placebo in patients on antifibrotics or untreated. Kudos Drs Richeldi and Wijsenbeek and #FibroneerIPF team nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Just as an aside: happy to answer career development questions too!

There are two parts to PhD supervision: 1. Developing the research 2. Developing the researcher. It's easy to focus on the research and forget the researcher. But good supervision means doing both.

📢 IMPORTANT DATE ALLERT! Excited for the ASMB 2025 Biennial Meeting in Baltimore, Nov 16–19! Early Bird Registrations and Abstract submission deadline approaching—Don't forget to sign up first, then submit your abstract. See you there! #ASMB2025 #ASMBaltimore2025 #ECMatrix

🌈 Happy Pride Month! In our June newsletter, we celebrate LGBTQ+ voices / communities in STEM, spotlight the DGMB young investigator winner Kristina Bubb and share new ECM research + upcoming events. The ECM is never just a scaffold—it’s a story. 🧬 📖 Read now:

It’s finally out!!🥳 Check out our paper in Nature Materials on a new hybrid scaffold where we discover ECM-specific cues that regulate cardiac aging 🔗 nature.com/articles/s4156… This is the lab’s 1st research paper, led by my 1st Nus Bioeng PhD student 𝐀𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐮𝐧🤩 Tweetorial👇

Time to register!! This is gonna be such an exciting programme

Hot off the press!📢 New review from our lab led by Dr HuanTing Ong & Sriram w/Hepi Hari Susapto @confinementlab Andrew Holle & Elnathan lab @deakin in Advanced Materials Advanced Portfolio News We discuss #mechanobiology in cell engineering & manufacturing Check it out!👇 advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Really enjoyable read that succinctly summarises the complexity of #collagens!

Yesterday I attended the #graduation of my #firstPhD student Katie Lowles. What a moment! No longer her PI but still feeling very proud WTCCMR Division of Molecular and Cellular Function UoM (Oh and I also attended my first ever #GRCCollagen...it was awesome even though I had to leave early!)

Exciting news from Naba lab as they just released an updated list of anti-ECM antibodies curated from the #HumanBioMolecularAtlasProgram Organ Mapping Antibody Panels #OMAP and the 9th release of the Human Reference Atlas #HRA. More info here: sites.google.com/uic.edu/matris…
