Cyclic hydrostatic pressure stimulates enhanced bone development in the foetal chick femur in vitro
An industry linked project as part of the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Regenerative Medicine (EP/F/500491/1) collaborating with Instron /Tissue Growth Technologies Ltd (Anna Wynn: Anna_Wynn@instron.com)to design and validate a novel hydrostatic bioreactor for use in conditioning tissue engineered constructs in vitro. Validation of the bioreactor is shown by enhanced bone growth in an organ culture model which underpins further BBSRC BB/G/010579/1 and EPSRC EP/I017801/1 E-TERM fellowship funded studies for conditioning tissues prior to implantation highlighted in the Sunday Telegraph. The work has since been referenced in the House of Lords Committee report on Regenerative Medicine (parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/lords-select/science-and-technology-committee/news/regen-med-report-published/).
