homeRNAdrop simplifies remote blood collection and RNA stabilization for small samples, with successful pilot testing showing adequate RNA quality and yield.

The paper develops the STEAM platform for creating suspended 3D bladder models with tunable mechanics and spatial complexity.

The paper introduces homeRNAmax, an improved blood collection and RNA stabilization platform for remote transcriptomic studies, showing it produces high-quality RNA samples and is user-friendly.

This study compares the transcriptomic profiles of LPS-induced immune responses in homeRNA and venous blood samples, showing homeRNA captures comparable inflammatory responses.

The paper introduces STEAM, a microfluidic platform for creating suspended tissue constructs with spatial patterning and mechanical manipulation capabilities, demonstrating its use in engineered muscle tissue.

The paper introduces STOMP, a method to create multi-regional suspended tissues for studying complex tissue interfaces, and reports altered contractile dynamics in engineered heart tissues and bone-ligament constructs.

This study evaluates RNA degradation in homeRNA-stabilized blood under varying shipping times and temperatures, finding that samples remain suitable for RNA sequencing under typical shipping conditions.
