The provision of mechanical stimulation is believed to be necessary for the functional assembly of skeletal tissues, which are normally exposed to. a variety of biomechanical signals In vivo In this paper, we present a development and validation of a novel bioreactor aimed for skeletal tissue engineering that provides dynamic compression and perfusion of cultivated tissues Dynamic compression can be applied at frequencies up to 67.5 Hz and displacements down to 5 pm thus suitable for the simulation of physiological conditions In a native cartilage tissue (0.1-1 Hz, 5- 10 % strain). The bioreactor also includes a load sensor that was calibrated so to measure average loads imposed on tissue samples. Regimes of the mechanical stimulation and acquisition of load sensor outputs are directed by an automatic control system using applications developed within the Lab View platform. In addition, perfusion of tissue samples at physiological velocities (10- 100 mu m/s) provides efficient mass transfer, as well as the possibilities to expose the cells to hydrodynamic shear and simulate the conditions in a native bone tissue. Thus, the novel bioreactor is suited for studies of the effects of different biomechanical signals on in vitro regeneration of skeletal tissues, as well as for the studies of newly formulated biomaterials and cell biomaterial interactions under in vivo-like settings.
