Reviewer 2 Report

This manuscript deals with  porous polysaccharide-based hydrogel scaffolds developed in a bioreactor-type perfusion device that generates favorable mechanical stresses while enhancing nutrient transfers.

The authors combined advanced experiments and theory in a unique way and the whole manuscript is impressive. However, this work could be further improved.

POINTS FOR IMPROVEMENT:

1. The abstract could be shorten summarizing the findings of this work.

2. Write a paragraph reporting summarizing applications of this work and directions of future work.

3. Please, add few schemes illustrating  a) the followed experimental methodology of this work b) the experimental set up.

Reviewer 3 Report

Review (recommended major revision)

 

This modelling study explores a novel investigation approach to an in vitro tissue engineering process by integrating the external stimuli sensors into 3D culture reactor systems. By using hydrogel template scaffolds, a bioreactor (device) and integration, favorable mechanical loading was achieved.
