Abstract

Cultivation and/or test-system comprising at least two cultivation spaces combined in a microparticle, wherein the sperically shaped microparticle comprises, (i) a first cultivation space in the center core of said spherically shaped microparticle, (ii) a second cultivation space in the wall surrounding the core of said microparticle, (iii) wherein the wall surrounding the core allows for the exchange of molecules as, salts, nutrients, peptides, chemicals and other compounds in order for the cells in the first cultivation space to interact with the cells in second cultivation space and vice versa. In the test system, the cells are co-cultivated and the microparticles are then selected based on the phenotype of the cells in the first or second cultivation space.
