This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under the Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.846), will provide $322,408 to Syracuse University to investigate the role of calcium signaling in 3D osteocyte networks and their impact on the mechanoadaptive response of bone cells.

The key objectives are to define how fluid flow stimuli modulate calcium signaling across 3D osteocyte networks, determine how these networks regulate bone formation and resorption activities, and identify how disruption of the networks influences calcium signaling and functional outcomes. This research will leverage a new bone multicellular unit (BMU) chip platform to enable longitudinal visualization and characterization of the mechanosensitive calcium signaling mechanisms within the bone microenvironment. A sub-award of $127,707 will support the participation of the Upstate Research Foundation in performing gene/protein expression analyses, histochemical staining, and imaging of the mineralized constructs.
