The invention provides a cell/tissue culture apparatus for applying a physical
stimulation necessary for the proliferation and growth of a cell or tissue to a
material to be cultivated serving as a cell or tissue to be cultivated, thereby
realizing the culture as desired and protecting the material to be cultivated from
contamination of various bacteria and so forth. The cell/tissue culture apparatus
comprises a cylindrically formed material to be cultivated (matrix 18),
a chamber (culture chamber 8) for accommodating therein the material to
be cultivated, a circulation path (first circulation path 32) connected
to the material to be cultivated through which a culture fluid is circulated in
an inner side of the material to be cultivated, a pump (tube pump 36) for
controlling a velocity of the culture fluid, control means (controller 60)
and so forth, wherein the culture fluid (30) having different flows is supplied
to the inner side and an outer side of the material to be cultivated, thereby applying
an optional physical stimulation to the material to be cultivated serving as the
cell or tissue to be cultivated, thereby realizing the culture as desired and protecting
the material to be cultivated from contamination of various bacteria and so forth.
