Carnegie Mellon University professor of biomedical engineering and materials science and engineering Adam Feinberg, along with postdoctoral fellow Dan Shiwarski and graduate student Joshua Tashman, have created a novel biosensor that reveals the mechanobiological forces that shape organ development. These little-understood forces are of increasing interest to medicine and research and the team's findings offer important insights vital for understanding disease, as well as the future of bioengineered organs.
