Abstract
A three dimensional in vitro model was developed to study the effects of mechanical stimuli on bone formation. The model takes advantage of the simplicity of cell culture with an isolated cell population which allows the investigation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms while maintaining the natural architecture of bone. Three dimensional polymer/cell cultures were subjected to controlled compression to simulate mechanical loading conditions, and bone formation was monitored by cellular activity and structural observation, confocal microscopy and histology.
