An increasing number of biomaterials are in development, seeking to mimic the natural cascade of events during fracture repair. However, these biomaterials need to be rigorously tested prior to clinical application. In vitro testing lacks the physiological environment, while in vivo studies do not always predict the patient response. Here we hypothesize that the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay can be used to culture human living bone and we aim to examin...
