Bioreactors play a crucial role in mimicking the natural conditions essential for cell growth, regulating factors like temperature, pH levels, oxygenation and nutrient supply. In the cultivated meat sector, bioreactors are a relatively new technology. Originally adapted from pharmaceutical and biotech industries, early bioreactors were small-scale and designed for controlled laboratory environments, not large-scale cultured meat production.
