Müller Group / Laboratory for Bone BiomechanicsOpen OpportunitiesPoor revascularization of the injury site during bone healing can severely delay or even prevent formation of new bone tissue. This project aims to use a multiscale, multiphysics model to study what factors influence the formation of blood vessels during bone healing. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Medical and Health Sciences

| Cell signalling pathways are important regulators of bone growth and remodelling. Yet, a quantitative detailed understanding of these molecular processes is still missing in the context of bone biology. The goal of this project is to model quantitatively the kinetics of the genes regulatory network. - Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Biomechanics, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Genetics

| Bone remodeling is a continuous metabolic cycle of bone resorption and formation to maintain homeostasis. Several studies have reported how mechanical loading influences bone structure in a gender-dependent manner. However, how the mechanostat affects the bone cells and their microenvironment remain - Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Biotechnology

| The osteocyte lacunar network within bone is responsible for sensing mechanical signals, transducing them to biological signals, and orchestrating bone remodeling. Yet, the details of mechanical sensation are not understood and we must approach this topic computationally on the microscopic level. - Engineering and Technology, Medical and Health Sciences

| Bone adapts to withstand its habitual mechanical loading environment by adapting its microstructure through bone forming and resorbing cells. This project aims to quantify bone mechanoregulation in cancellous and cortical bone of the human distal radius by using new high-resolution CT imaging. - Biology, Engineering and Technology, Medical and Health Sciences

| Current tissue engineering strategies fail to recreate the complex bone architecture where 3D interconnected osteocytes reside in the lacuno-canalicular system for mechano-regulation of bone remodeling. This project aims to create functional osteocyte networks as in vitro bone model for medicine. - Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Biomaterials, Interdisciplinary Engineering, Macromolecular Chemistry, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences, Polymers
