A Modular Synthetic Hydrogel with Cell-scale Micropores Modulates Osteocyte-like Morphogenesis and Osteogenic Differentiation <i>In Vitro</i>
2026-08-04
Abstract excerpt
One crucial step during early osteogenesis is the embedding of osteoblasts within a collagen-rich extracellular matrix (osteoid), where they subsequently differentiate into a functional network of osteocytes. However, reconstructing 3D osteocyte networks in vitro remains a major challenge. We recently developed a synthetic microporous hydrogel to support the in vitro culture of 3D bone cell networks. Although ma...
