1. A tissue enclosure enabling creation, maintenance, and monitoring of tissue comprising:
a core including a cavity, the core having at least one monitoring area and at least one opening into the cavity, one of the at least one openings receiving the tissue, the core accommodating at least one material ingress and at least one material egress;
at least one filter assembly operably coupled with the core;
a granular medium supporting the tissue, the tissue confined within the cavity by the at least one filter assembly; and
an effluent chamber directly engaged with said at least one filter assembly, said effluent chamber maintained at a pressure different than a pressure of said core forming a pressure differential,
wherein the life of the tissue is maintained at least by fluid flowing through the cavity between the at least one material ingress and the at least one material egress due to said pressure differential, and
wherein the tissue is monitored through the at least one monitoring area.
