چکیده

A bone tissue engineering strategy involving the in vitro expansion of cells on a scaffold before implantation into the body represents a promising alternative to current clinical treatments. To improve in vitro culture, bioreactor systems have been widely researched for bone tissue engineering purposes. Spinner flask, rotating wall bioreactors, and perfusion systems have all been the focus of experiments, and each system has advantages and disadvantages. This review seeks to summarize these efforts and provide the current status of research in this area. Research using spinner flasks and rotating wall bioreactors is discussed, but focus is placed on perfusion bioreactor systems. While spinner flasks and rotating wall bioreactors have been shown to improve in vitro culture conditions by increasing homogeneity of nutrients in the media, perfusion systems expose cells to shear stress and more efficiently enhance nutrient transfer. Enhanced mineralized matrix deposition and enhancement of osteoblastic signal expression in response to culture in these systems have been widely reported. This review provides analysis of the causes of these changes in signal expression as well as reports on bioreactor systems that have been commercialized.

Bioprocess Forces and Their Impact on Cell Behavior: Implications for Bone Regeneration Therapy

Bioprocess forces such as shear stress experienced during routine cell culture are considered to be harmful to cells. However, the impact of physical forces on cell behavior is an area of growing interest within the tissue engineering community, and it is widely acknowledged that mechanical stimulation including shear stress can enhance osteogenic differentiation. This paper considers the effec...

Design of a flow perfusion bioreactor system for bone tissue-engineering applications.

Several different bioreactors have been investigated for tissue-engineering applications. Among these bioreactors are the spinner flask and the rotating wall vessel reactor. In addition, a new type of culture system has been developed and investigated, the flow perfusion culture bioreactor. Flow perfusion culture offers several advantages, notably the ability to mitigate both external and inter...

Bioreactor-based bone tissue engineering: the influence of dynamic flow on osteoblast phenotypic expression and matrix mineralization.

An important issue in tissue engineering concerns the possibility of limited tissue ingrowth in tissue-engineered constructs because of insufficient nutrient transport. We report a dynamic flow culture system using high-aspect-ratio vessel rotating bioreactors and 3D scaffolds for culturing rat calvarial osteoblast cells. 3D scaffolds were designed by mixing lighter-than-water (density, <1g/ml)...
