This work develops a new microfluidic chip to study 3D osteocyte networks under pulsatile unidirectional fluid flow stimuli (PUFFS) that could potentially allow researchers to gain crucial insights into how bone senses and adapts to mechanical loads. Congratulations to Anna-Blessing Merife and all co-authors!

All your hard work, late nights, and perseverance have culminated in this significant milestone. I am sure this is just another steppingstone to even greater achievements and a future filled with endless possibilities. It was also great to see our lab alumni – Dr. Zheng Xiong, Alex Filip and Jenna Grutzmacher.

WO2024254138 – MULTIPATH PROJECTION STEREOLITHOGRAPHY SYSTEM AND METHOD – Similar to easy switching of objectives during imaging, this technology allows easy switching between high-resolution and low-resolution printing modes to fabricate multiscale parts. https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2024254138&_cid=P12-M69W1Z-55301-1

The title of this project is: Role of Calcium Signaling by 3D Osteocyte Networks in Mechanoadaptive Response of the Bone Multicellular Unit – ONLY possible because of key contributions from Anna and Arun – Thank you guys!

This grant entitled, “TM/SC-interface-on-a-chip for mechanistic studies of outflow regulation”. This grant will design and exploit a novel 3D outflow tissue platform that models the form and function of the complex draining interfaces found in the human eye. If successful, this platform can be potentially used to accurately screen drugs for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
