Abstract

An apparatus ( 10 ) to grow cell cultures includes an anchor ( 14 ) potted to a flexible membrane ( 12 ) and an anchor stem ( 16 ) to which cells attach. A jig ( 18 ) having a trough ( 46 ) and at least one passage ( 52 ) is positioned adjacent the flexable membrane ( 12 ). A method for growing and mechanically conditioning three-dimensional cell constructs begins by drawing the flexible membrane ( 12 ) and the anchor stem ( 14 ) into the trough ( 46 ) by means ( 20 ) for flexing the flexible membrane ( 12 ) (step 114 ). Cells are supplied (step 116 ) and allowed to attach to the anchor stem ( 16 ) (step 118 ). The flexible membrane ( 12 ) is released from within the trough ( 46 ) (step 120 ), resulting in a three-dimensional structure ( 34 ) of cells attached to the anchor stem ( 16 ). The cells grow into the three-dimensional construct (step 130 ). The structure ( 34 ) and/or the construct can be subjected to a regimen of strain for mechanical conditioning of the cells (step 132 ).
