<p>A method of growing cells of the type which normally undergo mitosis only when anchored on a substrate, e.g., fibroblasts or epithelial cells comprises the steps of encapsulating a seed culture of the cells within a semipermeable membrane and suspending the capsules in a growth medium. The interior surfaces of the capsule membrane and/or collagen also enclosed within the capsules with the seed culture serve as a substrate for the cells. The ratio of the available substrate surface area to the volume of the culture may be so large that the cells grow substantially throughout the volume of the culture medium.</p> |
