ABSTRACT:
A bioreactor and methods of using same for making tissue constructs and for conditioning tissue-engineered constructs and harvested tissues such as cryopreserved tissues. The bioreactor allows for static and dynamic culture/conditioning. The bioreactor is dual chambered (one chamber above and one below the cells or construct) to allow for application of biochemical and/or biomechanical stimuli to each side of the cells/construct.
