BIOCOMPATIBLE COMPOSITE MEMBRANE, METHOD FOR FABRICATING THE MEMBRANE, BIOREACTOR AND METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING CELLS ATTACHED TO THE BIOCOMPATIBLE COMPOSITE MEMBRANE

摘要

In various embodiments a biocompatible composite membrane for in vitro cell culturing comprising a first material, which is non-water soluble and a water soluble second material is provided, wherein the composite membrane comprises a porous scaffold and a filling layer, the scaffold comprising the first material and the filling layer comprising the second material. Further, a method for fabricating the membrane, a bioreactor for use of the membrane in cell-stretch experiments and a corresponding method for investigating cells attached to the biocompatible composite membrane are also provided.
