There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

A bioprinted embryonic human heart model at 84 times the actual size. This is one of two different kinds of models Vahid Serpooshan is developing that are 3D printed using soft, flexible hydrogel materials infused with cells from specific patients. Funded by a National Science Foundation Early Career Development award, the models will mimic the exact structure of the heart at two stages: the embryonic heart tube present at roughly 20 days after conception and a more fully developed fetal heart at 30-34 weeks.
