OptoRheo: Simultaneous in situ micro-mechanical sensing and imaging of live 3D biological systems. Communications Biology, 6, Article 463. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-023-04780-8

Biomechanical cues from the extracellular matrix (ECM) are essential for directing many cellular processes, from normal development and repair, to disease progression. To better understand cell-matrix interactions, we have developed a new instrument...

Hydrogel-Based Pre-Clinical Evaluation of Repurposed FDA-Approved Drugs for AML (2023)
Journal Article
James, J. R., Curd, J., Ashworth, J. C., Abuhantash, M., Grundy, M., Seedhouse, C. H., …Thompson, A. (2023). Hydrogel-Based Pre-Clinical Evaluation of Repurposed FDA-Approved Drugs for AML. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 24(4), Article 4235. https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms24044235

In vivo models of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are low throughput, and standard liquid culture models fail to recapitulate the mechanical and biochemical properties of the extracellular matrix-rich protective bone marrow niche that contributes to dru...
