Abstract
A three-dimensional solid support for the in vitro cultivation of cells consists essentially of porous polycrystalline aragonite in the form of a cylinder, sphere or plate. The support may be used to successively grow layers of different cells on the support, and is particularly useful for cultivating endothelial cells, fibroblasts and bone marrow cells.
