A bioreactor (10) supports the viability, function(s) and/or growth of a cell or enzyme, or synthesis or biotransformation (metabolism) of a composition or compound using a cell or enzyme. The bioreactor includes a housing (12) having perfusion ports (20, 24) for perfusion. A bundle of elongated elements (26) can be contained within the housing. The elongated elements can be made of a foamy polymer such that cells loaded aggregate within the pores of the elongated elements. Furthermore, the elongated elements can be a bundle of thin solid sticks (30), rod-reinforced sticks (30, 32), or thin hollow tubes (28). Optionally, the housing can include a removable cap (18, 22) configured to allow the insertion and removal of the bundle of elongated elements into and out of the housing and the bundle of elongated elements can be removably affixed within the housing.
