Humabiologics launches affordable human collagen, breaking funding barriers for scientific research and enabling more precise regenerative medicine studies. Ethically sourced, clinically relevant biomaterials now within reach for researchers worldwide. #Biomaterials #Research

We are proud to share that a research team led by @EPFL professor Li Tang, head of the Lab of #Biomaterials for #Immunoengineering, has received the prestigious Fondation Leenaards prize 2025!

The goal of team's work is to increase the stiffness of #cancer-cell membranes, making it easier for patients’ T-cells to attack and destroy tumors. Their approach could lead to more effective treatments for patients who are resistant to existing #immunotherapy.

#Fabricademy bootcamp 2025
May 19→25

Don't miss this year's bootcamp in Brussels to encounter international fellows in the field of #textile, #engineering and #biology.

I am co-organizing it through the #fablab @GreenFabric and the #fabricademy team (@fabtextiles ).

A great opportunity to test Fabricademy themes and way of working through intense hands-on workshops. It will cover #biomaterials with #mycelium #fungi, #modulardesign, #machineknitting with the #kniterate machine, using the #opensourcehardware machines that we built, #etextile with thermochromic inks.

Don't miss also the #MakerFaire on the following week-end (May 26-27) with the Fabricademy exhibition of final projects and a workshop on #softrobotics.

More info on https://bootcamp2025.textile-academy.org.

Boosts are more than welcome!

#MicroscopyMonday – No this is NOT an aerial view of the Grand Canyon.

This is a scanning electron microscopy image of the cranial sutures in the rat skull. These are fibrous joints where the bones of the skull interdigitate, allowing for flexibility and growth during infancy and early childhood before fusing in adulthood.

The complex hierarchical structure of bone, where smaller building blocks form progressively larger structures.
