Abstract
The present invention includes a cell culture apparatus for growing and maintaining living cells in vitro. The cell culture apparatus includes a shell being at least partially constructed of a flexible material. A plurality of capillaries are disposed within the shell, defining a cell culturing space between the capillaries and the shell wall. At least one of the capillaries has selectively permeable walls. The shell permits one end of the apparatus to be moved towards another end, spreading apart the capillaries.
