Geometry‐Guided Osteogenesis in Bone‐on‐a‐Chip Systems Using Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Scaffolds

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a bone‐on‐a‐chip platform incorporating TPMS scaffolds to study geometry‐dependent osteogenesis under dynamic flow. By tuning pore shape and solidity, it precisely controls mechanical cues, revealing how topological features and shear stress affect osteogenic differentiation and matrix formation.
