1. A bioreactor for preparing a personalized blood vessel, the bioreactor comprising a peristaltic pump, a container comprising a sampling port, a first connector, and a second connector, wherein the first and second connectors are directly or indirectly connected to the container, wherein each connector is connected to an end of a tubular scaffold for preparing a personalized blood vessel wherein when the first and second connectors are connected to the two ends of the tubular scaffold, the peristaltic pump mediates the circulation of a suspension or solution in a closed circuit, wherein the bioreactor further comprises one or more sensors for measuring glucose level.
