A method of facilitating processes of mammalian cells such as at least one o f attachment, movement, growth, proliferation and differentiation comprises: supplying liquid comprising biologically compatible polymer to a liquid outl et in the vicinity of a surface and subjecting liquid issuing from the outlet t o an electric field to cause the liquid to form polymer fibre which is attract ed to and deposits onto the substrate to form a polymer fibre scaffold having fibre of a given diameter with gaps between adjacent fibre portions; and applying mammalian cells to the fibre scaffold, wherein the gaps between the fibre portions and the fibre diameter have a size relative to a diameter of the mammalian cells such that cells grow or elongate preferentially along th e fibre of the fibre scaffold. Apparatus for enabling carrying out of such a method is also described.
