    RT @TAMUEngineering: Who knew an accordion could inspire the future of medicine? 🪗⚕️ @TAMU researchers turned the physics behind the instrument into a first-of-its-kind device that could change how scientists study disease and human health. The HemaDyne is capable of accurately replicating human blood flow with unprecedented precision. Read more about their research breakthrough 👉

    RT @TAMU: A student playing an accordion on Texas A&M's campus sparked an engineering breakthrough. Dr. Abhishek Jain and Dr. Ankit Kumar from @TAMUEngineering have built a first-of-its-kind accordion-like device that replicates human blood flow waveforms in the lab. This device opens doors for advancing the study of vascular diseases, discovering drugs and supporting safe space travel. Read more: #TAMU #AggieResearch #TAMUEngineering

    RT @endothelialnews: Accordion-inspired perfusion for #microphysiological systems. 🪗 Researchers with Dr. Abhishek Jain engineered Hemadyne, a standalone mechanical pump, which sustained the long-term culture of endothelial cells in a vessel-chip for up to 60 days. 🩸

    RT @JainLabTAMU: Many investigators asked us how we make vessel-chips with blood endothelial cells, and then do RNAseq. So, @_TanmayMathur in my lab @bmentamu @TAMUEngineering has published protocols of our procedures & computer programs for seq data analysis. Checkout

    RT @DrVivekThacker: I'm interested in participating in this call as a co-applicant. We have a human lung-on-chip model that is well-suited to linking clinical data with animal models, as we recently demonstrated in @Nature and we are already working with variants. Please RT.

    What if a tissue chip could predict how your body might respond to medical treatment over time? Extending the life of these chips to 6+ months & studying them in space could hold the key. Congrats to the researchers who’ll be leading this charge!
