Manufacturing and Numerical Validation of the Innovative Double-Chamber Perfusion Bioreactor for Osteochondral Tissue Repair
摘要
Osteochondral tissue repair presents a significant challenge in regenerative medicine. This study introduces the manufacturing and optimization of an innovative double-chamber perfusion bioreactor. The innovative bioreactor introduced in this study aims to address the engineering challenges related to the production of osteochondral tissues. The importance of laminar flow in promoting cell viability and differentiation is emphasized, supported by analytical and numerical validations based on Poiseuille flow theory. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations demonstrated that the bioreactor maintains laminar flow within the control volume, safeguarding favorable conditions for osteochondral tissue culture. These advancements signify a substantial step toward enhancing bioengineered solutions for osteochondral repair.
