Popis: Schädli et al. present a bioreactor system that combines mechanical loading with longitudinal microCT imaging to assess bone mineralization in a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold reinforced with nanoparticles. This approach allows rapid and rigorous evaluation of engineered bone scaffolds performance in vitro and might reduce the use of animals for experimentation.
