A Modular Perfusion Bioreactor Platform for Simulating Bone Regeneration and Fracture Healing: Integrating Mechanical Loading and Dual Perfusion for Advanced In Vitro Models

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A modular bioreactor platform was developed in order to replicate bone homeostasis and pathology, thereby integrating mechanical loading, dynamic perfusion, and a 3D‐printed microfluidic chamber. With precise control of environmental parameters and dual perfusion for composite tissue models, the system enhances physiological relevance for studying bone

Targeted Delivery for Musculoskeletal Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesPharmaceutical Research, 2008
The musculoskeletal system is composed of bone, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As an essential component of the human anatomy, it serves as the mechanical support for the body and protects vital organs and bone marrow. It also serves as a reserve of ions, especially calcium and phosphate, for the maintenance of serum homeostasis.
