As researchers, when we explore something, we are passionate about sharing it in a way that would be received more easily.
We write articles; we do presentations, and visual materials: photography, microscopy images, basic sketches, detailed illustrations, 3D models, are often the best narrators of our research.
Visual communication tools are powerful ways to grab the attention of the audience and enhance the memorability of the subject. Similarly, throughout my research, I needed visual materials to tell my story.

OK, not we are but our scaffold and cells – even better:)
Thiolene- and Polycaprolactone Methacrylate-Based Polymerized High Internal Phase Emulsion (PolyHIPE) Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering
About Cover: False-colored scanning electron microscopy image that shows the invasion of human dermal fibroblasts into the interconnected pores of the photocurable polycaprolactone methacrylate-based polymerized high internal phase emulsion scaffold designed for tissue-engineering applications.
About Study: In this work, we reported the groundwork to fabricate thiol- and polycaprolactone (PCL)-based PolyHIPE materials via a photoinitiated thiolene click reaction. Two different formulations, either three-arm PCL methacrylate (3PCLMA) or four-arm PCL methacrylate (4PCLMA) moieties, were used in the PolyHIPE formulation. Biocompatibility of the PolyHIPEs was investigated using human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and human osteosarcoma cell line (MG-63) and developed PolyHIPEs were shown to be capable of supporting cell attachment and viability.
