Bone Metabolic Studies in a Combined Perfusion / Loading Chamber

This project will permit simulation of in-vivo mechanical and perfusion conditions on bone samples and on engineered bone tissue constructs. The proposed test hardware will allow synchronous mechanical stimulation and determination of the mechanical properties of living bone samples, as well as the determination of metabolic parameters, and the evaluation of signal transduction phenomena. There is a great demand for such an instrument on the ground for use in orthapaedics, several commercial partners are already interested and are heavily involved in the instrument development.
