TL;DR: In vitro investigations suggest that microgravity induces non-stress-related changes in cell function that may be critical to immunity, as well as characterize potential causes of microgravity-induced immunosuppression.

TL;DR: The microgravity-simulated three-dimensional prostate epithelial cell culture with prostate fibroblasts can be further explored as an ideal in vitro model for the study of normal and neoplastic prostate development.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system for growing two or three dimensional mammalian cells within a culture medium facilitated by an electromagnetic field, and preferably a time varying electromagnetic field. And they further provide methods to promote neural tissue regeneration by means of culturing the neural cells in the claimed system.

TL;DR: The Rotating-Wall Vessel was used to culture chondrocytes for 36 d to observe the influence of low-shear and quiescent culture conditions allowing three-dimensional freedom on growth, differentiation, and extracellular matrix formation, indicating that the unique conditions provided by the RWV afford access to cellular processes that signify the initiation of differentiation as well as production of normal matrix material.
