These results demonstrate that the oxygen permeable membrane bioreactor utilized in our study allows obtaining a small-scale organization of human hepatocytes in a micro architecture similar to that in vivo. This study attested the feasibility of the small-scale flat membrane bioreactor as a simple

Novel PEEK-WC-PU membrane results an interesting material which is able to support the long-term maintenance and differentiation of human hepatocytes. These results evidenced a good performance of PEEK-WC-PU membranes in terms of albumin and urea synthesis. Moreover the experiments with the bioreact

PEEK-WC HF bioreactor permits us to reproduce the Hypericum perforatum immunomodulatory effect on human peripheral lymphocytes as observed by previous in vivo studies. In fact, St. John’s wort modulates linfocitary response suppressing metabolic activities. This investigation underlines the ability

The efficient design of a membrane bioreactor for cells culture needs the complete characterization — both experimentally and theoretically — of the transport phenomena for metabolites, catabolites, cell regulatory and immune-related soluble factors. In this work, experiments and theoretical calcula
