An Animal‐Free Patient‐Derived Tissue‐Mimetic Biochip Model of the Human Synovial Membrane for Human‐Relevant Osteoarthritis Research

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Reihs et al. present the development of a humanized, animal‐free synovial membrane model for osteoarthritis. Methods include 3D biochip cultures of human‐primary OA synoviocytes with matrix and serum surrogates. Results show replication of synovial architecture and increased Yap1 expression.

An Organ‐on‐Chip Platform for Strain‐Controlled, Tissue‐Specific Compression of Cartilage and Mineralized Osteochondral Interface to Study Mechanical Overloading in Osteoarthritis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A mechanically active OsteoChondral Unit (OCU)‐on‐Chip platform mimicking the OCU's functional anatomy and the strain gradient across the osteochondral interface is presented. Upon compartment‐specific hyperphysiological compression, the model replicates mechanisms observed in osteoarthritis (OA) progression, such as calcium crystal accumulation ...
