Our state has a remarkable opportunity in the life sciences. Over the past 5 years, we've seen a 31% job growth in this sector, which is 10 times higher than Maine’s overall job growth rate. Each life science job also creates an additional 1.5 jobs in other sectors.
We urge you to explore the innovative research, products, and technologies emerging right here —exemplifying true Maine ingenuity!
To support this growing industry, please vote yes on Question #2 in November. The last R&D bond passed in 2017 had a $1.4B economic impact for Maine. Let's aim for even greater success in 2024 and beyond—the future of Maine's life sciences looks bright, but we must leverage this potential. Together, we will accomplish this.
We are excited to share the 1st publication from the Taylor Lab in collaboration with the Stoppel Lab (published back in March #latepost)! In this review, we discuss diverse approaches to engineering the musculoskeletal tendinous junction (MTJ) using biomaterial scaffolds and cellularized materials that replicate the MTJ structure and function for mechanistic and therapeutic discovery. Check it out here!

Infectious diseases remain a major contributor to global mortality rates, with over 95% of infection-related deaths due to lack of proper diagnosis and treatment. Innovative photonic strategies, including Raman and infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and plasmonics augmented with molecular technologies, can revolutionize the future of health care, saving countless lives.
Take the opportunity to present your research and discover the latest innovations in photonic technologies that are pushing the boundaries of basic science and clinical practice. 🚀
Our Scientific Director, Juergen Popp, will be serving as Conference Chair of the session along with Tianhong Dai and Mei X. Wu.

Opinions and thoughts requested!!
I am reflecting on the confounding factor this introduces in AI studies, particularly for control groups in preclinical AI morphology studies. It is incredibly challenging to distinguish the effect of the AI's top choice from that of continuous, undisturbed culture.
Occasionally, a study is published that demonstrates what we all “know to be true” that we didn’t “really” need a study for. Why? Because all along we had PROXY indicators, we KNOW pH, temperature, and osmol changes occur when dishes are moved from incubators, and we know what that does to cell growth, blastomere number etc, it’s been demonstrated MANY times over in model systems.
At the last talk I gave at SWES, I asked folks to start off with hands raised, and to put hands down as my statements got progressively bolder, and they no longer agreed with what I was saying. These are the statements I read:
1) embryos do better when manipulated less (ie assisted hatching, dish and media change over)
2) continuous, undisturbed culture causes less “STRESS” on embryos
3)shifting embryos between dishes and taking them in and out of incubators increases the “risk” of an error occurring
4)TLI helps us to identify when embryos don’t behave normally- checking on three time points is useful but continuous monitoring is better.
5)good studies on optimal single step media choice are more important now than ever (media performance).
So now we know for certain, what we all “knew to be true” and now please explain to me in the comments, the justification that any tool (electronic witnessing, PGT, AI, TLI, etc) should have to increase the cumulative live birth rate to be worthy of spending money on?
Safety and error reduction, reduced stress on embryos and embryologists, better embryology protocols that shift freezing to day 5 so embryos are perfectly times to the WOI, automation, these are all worthy of spending CAPX on.
If a dish of day 3 embryos gets disgarded accidentally at your practice, will you be able to stand in court and defend that you didn’t deploy a technology that could prevent that from happening?
So happy to share my latest work, a study showcasing how the results in a clinic improved after switching to an Undisturbed culture system combining time lapse technology and one step medium.
As always, I'd like to thank Dr. @marcos.meseguer and his teams, as well as the team of embryologists in @ivivalencia_ for their neverending support and guidance.
