    Abstract Most in vitro models use culture medium to apply fluid shear stress to endothelial cells, which does not capture the interaction between blood and endothelial cells. Here, we describe a new system to characterize whole blood flow through a 3D-printed, endothelialized vascular topology that induces flow separation at a bifurcation. Drag-reducing polymers, which have been previously studied as a potential therapy to reduce the pressure drop across the vascular bed, are evaluated for their effect on mitigating the disturbed flow. Polymer concentrations of 1000 ppm prevented recirculation and disturbed flow at the wall. Proteomic analysis of plasma collected from whole blood recirculated through the vascularized channel with and without drag-reducing polymers provides insight into the effects of flow regimes on levels of proteins indicative of the endothelial-blood interaction. The results indicate that blood flow alters proteins associated with coagulation, inflammation, and other processes. Overall, these proof-of-concept experiments demonstrate the importance of using whole blood flow to study the endothelial response to perfusion.

    Abstract Scaffolds delivered to injured spinal cords to stimulate axon connectivity often match the anisotropy of native tissue using guidance cues along the rostral-caudal axis, but current approaches do not mimic the heterogeneity of host tissue mechanics. Although white and gray matter have different mechanical properties, it remains unclear whether tissue mechanics also vary along the length of the cord. Mechanical testing performed in this study indicates that bulk spinal cord mechanics do differ along anatomical level and that these differences are caused by variations in the ratio of white and gray matter. These results suggest that scaffolds recreating the heterogeneity of spinal cord tissue mechanics must account for the disparity between gray and white matter. Digital light processing (DLP) provides a means to mimic spinal cord topology, but has previously been limited to printing homogeneous mechanical properties. We describe a means to modify DLP to print scaffolds that mimic spinal cord mechanical heterogeneity caused by variation in the ratio of white and gray matter, which improves axon infiltration compared to controls exhibiting homogeneous mechanical properties. These results demonstrate that scaffolds matching the mechanical heterogeneity of white and gray matter improve the effectiveness of biomaterials transplanted within the injured spinal cord.
