The tissue construct developed using the bioreactors reduce the number of surgery and healing time of the damaged tissue. The dependence on the hospital for tissue requirements will be reduced. And also, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine labs can also use the bioreactor for experimental purposes in regeneration studies of tissues. Furthermore, exploratory research can be performed using different types of scaffolds, and cells, with/without growth factor and their comparative studies can be performed for various tissue and their development studies. Considering the application of the bioreactor, it is very likely to have commercial value in the near future."
