Chemoselective Characterization of New Extracellular Matrix Deposition in Bioengineered Tumor Tissues

Zihan Ling, Burke Niego, Qingyang Li, Dhruv Bhattaram, Vanessa Serna Villa, Michael Y. Hu, Zhuowei Gong, Lloyd M. Smith, Brian L. Frey, Xi Ren

This study develops a chemoselective method to profile newly synthesized extracellular matrix proteins in bioengineered tumor tissues, revealing distinct ECM synthesis patterns in response to different extracellular environments.

AggreBots: configuring CiliaBots through guided, modular tissue aggregation

Dhruv Bhattaram, Keyvan Golestan, X. Zhang, Shu Min Yang, Z. Gong, Steven L. Brody, Amjad Horani, Victoria A. Webster‐Wood, Amir Barati Farimani, Xi Ren

The paper introduces AggreBots, a platform for creating designer motility patterns in multicellular tissues by spatially controlling the aggregation of epithelial spheroids, achieving greater motility than traditional CiliaBots.
