           Figure  5. Novel bone-mimetic  anisotropic three-dimensional (3D) construct fabricated  with bio-3D
           printing technique.  The obtained  construct represents the 3D osteocytes networks which mimic  the
           living bone tissue. Osteocytes remodel their dendritic processes to generate shear stress on their surface,
           resulting in the effective mechanosignaling.
