Congratulations on this awesome story finally out in @nchembio from @TheLeonardLab! I'm thrilled to have played even a small role in this exciting work. @HaileyEdelstein and @amparo_cosio, nice job on a really impressive study.
How can we combine the exquisite function of natural receptors with the programmability of synthetic biology? Check out this exciting new story led by @HaileyEdelstein and @amparo_cosio out today in @nchembio

Eventually we hope to apply these tools to human disease to help us understand how MS occurs and develop improved treatments.

We then harnessed this deeper understanding of dynamic cell-cell communication to develop new therapeutics that disrupt dysregulated communication and effectively reduce disease burden in models of progressive MS.

We used an implantable biomaterial system to monitor models of progressive multiple sclerosis. With these systems we can develop a deeper understanding of which cells are present in inflamed tissues in MS and how they communicate with each other.

I'm excited to share the first paper from my research group using new approaches to help understand multiple sclerosis: https://t.co/IJBDiaGrpY Excellent work by Laila Rad, Kevin Hughes, and @_Sydney_Wheeler. It was a great collaborative project with @lonniesheaUM at @UMBME.

MLive profiled University of Michigan scientists who are developing implants that can detect disease

Imagine an implant in your arm that would glow with firefly light if the cells inside of it detected a flare-up of multiple sclerosis.

Nice piece by @MattMillerMLive at @MLive about some of the work we've been doing in the lab! It's a long term vision, but we hope it will change how diseases like autoimmunity are managed and we expect to learn a lot along the way. @_Sydney_Wheeler @lonniesheaUM

Genetic circuits are useful for studying biology, as well as for powering applications. Congrats to @kdreyer96 @PatrickSDonahue & the team on this fun story about building improved hypoxia biosensors and discovering a little biology along the way https://t.co/izSwh07SGC
