Masoud:

· Summarize the project of patterning cells in the side-wall groove channel.

· Histogram of cell docking profiles in different dimensions side wall channel which follows a parabolic profile.

· Side the effects of post position on the cell docking position.

· Add effects of the size of contraction channel

· Improve the quality of the image of cell morphology

· Share stress in different region

Dr. Sim:

· Osteogenesis project

· Problem for doing Q-PCR using microscale testing

· May consider a more specific Immunostaining markers for bone than just collagen I and Actin.

Matt and Du,

· Quantify the gradient growth along the forward flow

· Quantify the effects of diffusion on the crosssectional distribution of the gradient

· Quantify the backward flow on the growth of the gradient

· Take into account the un-steady flow state when doing bead gradient
