Bioreactor—a cell culture device developed at NASA-Johnson Space Center that brings a new scientific tool to cancer and virus testing without risking harm to patients. The rotating bioreactor wall allows three-dimensional growth of tissues without limiting pressure points. It has been successful in culturing over 35 cell types.
