Zusammenfassung:A cell proliferation apparatus for the automated culturing of cells, the proliferation apparatus including a bioreactor having contained therein a stimulus-responsive three dimensional (3D) cell scaffold, the stimulus-responsive three-dimensional (3D) cell scaffold being operable reversibly to change its surface properties between hydrophilic and hydrophobic states. The cell scaffold comprises a surface layer of thermo-responsive polymer.
