ScienceDaily (Apr. 1, 2008) — The production of complex, multicellular tissues such as skin or blood vessels can now be envisaged, thanks to the development of a bioreactor with a “decoy effect”, by scientists in the “Ingénierie des matériaux polymères” Unit(1) (CNRS / University of Lyon 1/ University of Saint-Etienne / Insa Lyon). This novel, patented bioreactor enabling the culture and co-culture of cells of different types is a world first. The team’s work was published in Nature on March 6, 2008.
