Bone Cement Embedded in a Microfluidic Device

• Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have a great potential in the treatment of bone disorders due to their excellent biocompatibility. Although CPCs are promising when implanted in vivo, there is poor correlation between in vitro and in vivo studies. This could be because most conventional in vitro systems lack a 3D architecture, or dynamic conditions (i.e. a continuous refreshment stream). The aim of this work is to embed CPCs into a microfluidic system and evaluate ion and protein exchange at different flow rates.
