New Paper: A Bio-Functional Wnt3a Gradient Microarray for Cell Niche Studies

We used our multiphoton microfabrication and micropatterning (MMM) technology to immobilize a concentration gradient of Wnt3a on a protein substrate via neutravidin-biotin interactions in a quantitatively and spatially controllable manner.

New Paper: A Bio-Inspired Nano-Material Recapitulating the Composition, Ultra-Structure, and Function of the Glycosaminoglycan-Rich Extracellular Matrix of Nucleus Pulposus

We engineered biomimetic scaffolds to recapitulate the composition, ultra-structure, and function of GAG-rich ECM, such as that found in the nucleus pulposus of intervertebral discs.
