Previously, we developed a microphysiological system (MPS) that integrates perfusion, mechanical loading, and oxygen control within a culture platform that enables the culture of bone-like three-dimensional (3D) constructs [1]. Here, we demonstrate the application of this MPS as Bonoid-on-a-chip (BoC)-platform to investigate osteoblast-to-early osteocyte transition and mechanosensitive signalling in a human-relevant 3D context, under different physical and chemical conditions. We generated bonoids by bioprinting primary human osteoblasts into a gelatine-hydrogel and cultured them under either static conditions or as dynamic BoC. Different BoC environments consisting in controlled perfusion (0.5 ml min<sup>-1</sup>), mechanical loading (0% or 10% compression, 1 Hz frequency), and physiological oxygen tension (21% or 12%) over a seven-day period were compared. These different models were additionally treated with dexamethasone (DEXA), to evaluate early osteocyte-targeted effects of drug exposure under these different conditions. We observed high cell viability across all conditions, but clear differences in metabolic activity, morphological changes, and mechanotransduction markers between static and dynamic cultures. Notably, cells within the BoC-platform exhibited extended dendritic processes and significantly increased secretion of prostaglandin E2 and nitrite in response to mechanical stimulation - hallmarks of osteocytic signalling in mechanotransduction. When testing the new BoC as platform for early osteocyte-targeted investigations, we found DEXA exposure disrupting this mechanoresponsive phenotype, highlighting the model's applicability for pharmacological screening.

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) strategies using 3D bioprinting have emerged as promising alternatives, but their efficacy is limited by the difficulty of directing stem cell differentiation in a controlled and reproducible manner. To address this limitation, we are proposing 3D bone printing via ultrasound-mediated osteogenic differentiation of stem cells (referred to here as '3DBonUS'). This biofabrication approach integrates low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) with a microfluidic-assisted 3D bioprinting system. This unprecedented approach enables biophysical stimulation of human bone marrow stromal cells during the fabrication of scaffolds, promoting osteogenic differentiation without the need for extensive post-fabrication treatments. In addition, the incorporation of microbubbles enhanced the effects of LIPUS by amplifying mechanical signals at the cellular level. Our results revealed that the 3DBonUS system significantly upregulated key osteogenic markers (RUNX-2, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), COL1A1, bone morphogenetic protein-2, OCN and OPN) as confirmed by immunofluorescence and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis. Moreover, the LIPUS-treated constructs showed a significant (<i>p</i>< 0.05) increase in ALP activity and calcium deposition, indicating enhanced mineralisation. The biofabricated constructs maintained high cell viability while exhibiting improved osteogenic differentiation, surpassing traditional 3D bioprinting approaches in both efficiency and efficacy. The 3DBonUS strategy represents a new modality in skeletal TERM, combining biofabrication with targeted mechanical stimulation, with potential for scalability of scaffold manufacturing and clinical application.

Furthermore, the platform maintains both tissue viability and barrier function under natural sunlight and wind, demonstrating its robustness for real-world applications.

A fused deposition modeling printer was modified to facilitate continuous textile fiber feeding to the print head. This allowed the production of composite structures comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix and continuous fiber reinforcement using a polyethylene terephthalate multi-filament yarn.

By combining the design flexibility of 3D printing with the mechanical properties of continuous textile fibers, we were able to fabricate load-oriented scaffolds for biohybrid implants without the current limitations of classic fabrication strategies.

Here, we use single-cell bioprinting to engineer tumor microenvironment interactions through spatially defined cell microarrays in which individual cells can be positioned with micrometer-scale precision and high reproducibility, enabling systematic control of cell composition, spacing, density, and spatial arrangement.

We show that increasing local cancer cell density suppresses myoepithelial migration while promoting greater cancer cell territorial expansion, consistent with a shift toward a more permissive microenvironment for cancer cell exploration. When cell number and relative ratio are held constant, spatial arrangement alone further alters cancer behavior by determining whether cancer cells remain locally confined within repeated short-range interactions or exhibit directional displacement toward neighboring myoepithelial populations.
