Congrats to Bill Grier and past undergraduate Martins Iyoha for the acceptance of their new article, ‘The influence of pore size and stiffness on tenocyte bioactivity and transcriptomic stability in collagen-GAG scaffolds‘ in the Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials. This work looked at ways that the degree of alignment in a collagen scaffold could fundamentally alter the transcriptomic stability of equine tenocytes, making it the basis for designing implantable materials for tendon repair.
