Bone Abstracts

Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) is a powerful approach to visualize live cells and tissues, including bone, in three dimensions and over time. To enable preclinical longitudinal monitoring of bone by intravital MPM we developed an animal window model of bone using existing tissue engineering strategies. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds and human mesenchymal stem cells after osteoblastic differentiation, in vitro, were implanted into the mouse skin in the presence o...
