Review: bioreactor design towards generation of relevant engineered tissues: focus on clinical translation

In tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, studies that utilize 3D scaffolds for generating voluminous tissues are mostly confined in the realm of in vitro research and preclinical animal model testing. Bioreactors offer an excellent platform to grow and develop 3D tissues by providing conditions that mimic their native microenvironment. Aligning the bioreactor development process with a focus on patient care will aid in the faster translation of the bioreactor technology to clinics. In this review, we discuss the various factors involved in the design of clinically relevant bioreactors in relation to their respective applications. We explore the functional relevance of tissue grafts generated by bioreactors that have been designed to provide physiologically relevant mechanical cues on the growing tissue. The review discusses the recent trends in non‐invasive sensing of the bioreactor culture conditions. It provides an insight to the current technological advancements that enable in situ, non‐invasive, qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the tissue grafts grown in a bioreactor system. We summarize the emerging trends in commercial bioreactor design followed by a short discussion on the aspects that hamper the ‘push’ of bioreactor systems into the commercial market as well as ‘pull’ factors for stakeholders to embrace and adopt widespread utility of bioreactors in the clinical setting.
