Berger Auditorium (Room 13), Skirkanich Hall 210 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAbstract: Immunoregulatory roles of lymphatic vessels in cancer and opportunities for immunoengineering Tumor lymphangiogenesis, which involves both the activation and growth induction of surrounding lymphatic vessels, is well-known to correlate […]
MEAM Seminar: “Bioinspired Robotic Sensorimotor Systems via 3D Printed Soft and Architected Materials”
Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United StatesAnimals can easily adapt their bodies and movements to new, unstructured environments and situations. Robots cannot. While engineers construct robots from rigid, motorized mechanisms to precisely control their movements, vertebrates […]
