Leveraging Viscosity to Unlock the Osteogenic Potential of BMP‐2 Mimetic DWIVA Dynamic interfaces based on supported lipid bilayers demonstrate that the osteogenic potential of the BMP-2 mimetic DWIVA can be harnessed by modulating substrate viscosity. This work highlights that....

Interested in #Mechanobiology #BoneRegeneration and #GrowthFactor mimetics? Check out our paper in Small @wileyonlinelibrary.bsky.social by @finbariii.bsky.social. We show that viscosity unlocks the osteogenic activity of BMP-2 mimetic DWIVA @theglasgowcemi.bsky.social @uofgengineering.bsky.social 🧪

Huge congrats to @manuelthery.bsky.social and all the Cytomorpho lab. The "Living Architectures" performance at @museeorsay.bsky.social was breathtakingly beautiful

Journal retracts weed killer study backed by Monsanto, citing ‘serious ethical concerns’ Highly cited paper was used as evidence that the widely used herbicide Roundup is safe

🧨🧪 Finally, after 26 years, the ‘famous’ paper claiming #Roundup #glyphosate does not cause #cancer has been retracted! This is a serious blow… but unfortunately too late with already disastrous consequences for #publichealth.
