Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses and methods for a pulsing system which can be configured to provide pressure pulses to a fluid communication tube to/from a bioreactor (for example). Such a system may comprise one or more of, and preferably a plurality of a pulsing motor, a compression plate, one or more fluid communications tubes comprising a biomedia fluid tube configured to direct biomedia fluid into and out of one or more bioreactors, and/or an intra-luminal fluid tube configured to direct intra-luminal fluid through a mandrel tube provided in each bioreactor, and one and/or another of a cam, gearing, and/or actuator configured to repetitively moving the compression plate so as to repetitively compress and release at least a portion of a respective intra-luminal fluid tube for a respective bioreactor to effect a temporary pressure increase (distension or strain) in a respective mandrel-tube according to the predetermined time period.
