    Excited to share our new method in @ScienceMagazine to advance the properties of DLP-printed materials. This work was led by @apdhand & @Fiber_Matt in collaboration w/ @HannahZlotnick & NIST colleagues. Link: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @CUEngineering @pennbioeng @BioFrontiers
    A) (i) Photograph of trabecular bone structure and (ii) fluorescence micrograph of auxetic patch fabricated through CLEAR. Scale bars, 10 mm. (B) Multimaterial CLEAR printing through the switching of liquid resins and visualized with different fluorescent tracers (yellow and gray). Fluorescence micrographs of a multimaterial hydrogel in the shape of (i) a lattice (z direction) and (ii) an axial patch (xy direction). Scale bars, 5 mm. (C) Photograph of stiff hydrogels processed into porous, flexible patches that (i) conform to an underlying curved substrate and (ii and iii) are extensible. Scale bars, 30 mm. Shape recovery without permanent deformation demonstrated through (D) (i to iv) compression of auxetic octet-truss lattice and (E) (i to iv) stretching of 3D coil. Scale bars, 10 (D) and 5 mm (E).

    How can we use hydrogels to recapitulate and decouple dynamic microenvironments and probe important questions in developmental biology? Check out @KarenLXu_ 's latest primer now out in @Dev_journal entitled, "Modeling development using hydrogels." doi.org/10.1242/dev.20…
    Fig.1. Engineering hydrogels to present extracellular signals to cells. Hydrogels consist of polymer networks in which polymer composition (natural, synthetic or hybrid polymers), polymer crosslinking (covalent or physical) and network degradation (user-mediated and cell-mediated) can be tuned. In addition, biological signals may be introduced as ligands to promote cell adhesion or as soluble factors. Cells interface with hydrogels either through seeding atop (2D) or being encapsulated within (3D).

    How do you expand the functionality of hydrogels? Process them into hydrogel microparticles (#microgels). Check out our new review with @seguralab published @NatRevMater. @thedalya912 @pennbioeng nature.com/articles/s4157…

    Take a look at our latest work by @Fiber_Matt and colleagues on engineered contractile fibrous networks with applications in fundamental cell studies and biofabrication. @NSF MRSEC @CEMB @pennbioeng
    science.org
    Programmable and contractile materials through cell encapsulation in fibrous hydrogel assemblies
    Synthetic fibrous materials were engineered to contract under cellular forces similar to natural extracellular matrix.

    The Burdick Lab has finally joined twitter (blame the PI, not the lab!). Please follow us for research updates and highlights. Let's kick it off with a great pic of current and former lab members #BMES2019
