{"doi":"10.1002/advs.202501148","title":"Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning (STOMP)","abstract":"Free-standing tissue structures tethered between pillars are powerful mechanobiology tools for studying cell contraction. To model interfaces ubiquitous in natural tissues and upgrade existing single-region suspended constructs, we developed Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning (STOMP), a method to create multi-regional suspended tissues. STOMP uses open microfluidics and capillary pinning to pattern subregions within free-standing tissues, facilitating the study of complex tissue interfaces, such as diseased-healthy boundaries (e.g., fibrotic-healthy) and tissue-type interfaces (e.g., bone-ligament). We observed altered contractile dynamics in fibrotic-healthy engineered heart tissues compared to single-region tissues and differing contractility in bone-ligament enthesis constructs compared to single-tissue periodontal ligament models. STOMP is a versatile platform - surface tension-driven patterning removes material requirements common with other patterning methods (e.g., shear-thinning, photopolymerizable) allowing tissue generation in multiple geometries with native extracellular matrices and advanced four-dimensional (4D) materials. STOMP combines the contractile functionality of suspended tissues with precise patterning, enabling dynamic and spatially controlled studies.","journal":"Advanced Science","year":2025,"id":519462,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":6,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9535,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":917654,"name":"Lauren G.
