Bioreactors enhance tissue engineering by providing a highly controlled environment that supports cell growth and tissue development. Key advantages include:
- Nutrient Supply: Continuous delivery of essential nutrients and removal of metabolic waste. - Oxygenation: Adequate oxygen supply to support cellular respiration. - Mechanical Stimuli: Application of mechanical forces to mimic the natural physiological environment, which is crucial for the development of functional tissues. - Scalability: Ability to culture large volumes of cells and tissues, facilitating industrial-scale production.
