Also hot 🔥 off the press in @LabonaChip: Yansong Peng and @IsaacLeeLab of @CornellBME review organ-on-a-chip devices for studying the human lymphatic system.
By recreating key aspects of lymphatic physiology in vitro, these human-relevant tools can be used to model a wide ted by the lymphatic system, including lymphedema, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, cancer metastasis, neurological and glymphatic disorders, and metabolic syndromes.

We’re proud of our @CUbmes grad students and @BMESociety members! 💪 Their passion for outreach and community made a real impact last week as they cleaned up our local streets with @NYSDOT’s #AdoptAHighway. #CommunityService #CornellBME
Another shout-out to our caring and motivated @BMESociety @CUbmes graduate student organization who, as part of their dedication and outreach and community service, last week cleaned up the streets through the @NYSDOT #adoptahighway #garbage #communityservice.

The Cornell BMES graduate student chapter @CUbmes organized the social event to build up the community @CornellBME. I am honored to work with them as a faculty advisor.
Thank you @CornellBME @IsaacLeeLab for hosting the BME Social Hour yesterday! It was a much-needed break and a great chance to relax and catch up with everyone. The pizza was definitely my favorite part!

Thanks @medical_xpress for delivering the news on our pancreatic cancer work to the broader community.
A key receptor, ALK7, enables pancreatic ##CancerCells to invade #BloodVessels and spread. Blocking ALK7 at early stages may offer a promising strategy to limit metastasis. @cornell @biomedcentral doi.org/g94n5w medicalxpress.com/news/2025-09-k…
