Background:

Cell population growth in porous scaffolds is crucial for tissue engineering.
Perfusion bioreactors offer controlled environments for tissue construct development.
Mechanotransduction plays a significant role in cellular responses to mechanical stimuli.

Purpose of the Study:

To model cell population growth within a rigid porous scaffold in a perfusion bioreactor.
To investigate the influence of cell-cell and cell-scaffold interactions on tissue growth.
To analyze the impact of mechanotransduction on construct composition.

Main Methods:

Utilized a three-phase continuum model based on the theory of mixtures.
Modeled the bioreactor system as a 2D channel with a cell-seeded scaffold perfused with culture medium.
Performed numerical and analytical analysis of the model equations.

Main Results:

Demonstrated markedly different cell movement based on the balance of cell aggregation and repulsion.
Showcased how mechanotransduction (cell density, pressure, shear stress) alters construct composition.
Identified distinct outcomes in cell behavior and tissue development under varying conditions.

Conclusions:

The developed model can identify dominant regulatory stimuli in cell populations.
Mechanotransduction significantly impacts tissue construct development and composition.
This modeling approach, combined with experimental data, aids in optimizing bioreactor conditions for tissue engineering.
