A tunable granular biomaterial matrix is developed to support long-term bioprinting. Stress relaxation at high strains and long timescales is shown to be important for tissue self-organization in inte...

McCreery, Stubb et al. show that mechano-osmotic changes in the nucleus induce general transcriptional repression and prime chromatin for cell fate transitions by relieving repression of specific differentiation genes.

Women over 35 experience a marked reduction in fertility. The origin of these fertility defects appears to reside in the implantation capacity of the embryo itself, but the mechanistic basis of this i...

Jake Cornwall Scoones, PhD student in the Developmental Dynamics Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute, has been awarded a prestigious Schmidt Science Fellowship to support his research into how c...

The vision of robotic materials—cohesive collectives of robotic units that can arrange into virtually any form with any physical properties—has long intrigued both science and fiction. Yet, this visio...

We are interested in understanding how organs form in the embryo and how they renew and regenerate in the adult. We research how development and regeneration

Kidney explant cultures are traditionally carried out at air-liquid interfaces, which disrupts 3D tissue structure and limits the interpretation of developmental data. To overcome this limitation, we ...
