Abstract

The process of the present invention relates to a three dimensional co-culture process. Wherein two distinct types of mammalian cells are co-cultured in a rotating bioreactor which is completely filled with culture media and cell attachment substrates. As the size of the tissue assemblies formed on the attachment substrates changes the rotation of the bioreactor is adjusted accordingly.
