“…This fluid flow applies amplified strains to the cytoskeleton of bone cell processes leading to bone remodelling by activation of downstream signalling events (You, Cowin, Schaffler, & Weinbaum, ). Consequently, biomimetic bioreactors for bone tissue engineering have focused on emulating the interstitial fluid stresses (Yeatts & Fisher, ) and/or tissue‐level mechanical strains (Baumgartner et al, ; Matziolis et al, ; Michalopoulos et al, ; Ravichandran et al, ; Zong ming et al, ). These fluid shear stresses and mechanical strains stimulate the cell membrane's structural proteins such as integrins to form focal adhesion complexes that in turn will enable transduction of these specific mechanical signals to respective biochemical signals (Uzer, Fuchs, Rubin, & Thompson, ).…”
