Dynamic macroscale bioreactor systems are the most recent breakthrough in cell culture technology. With more than seven commercially avail-
able liver bioreactor systems for acute liver failure, tissue engineers were able to fully emulate functions of a complex human organ in vitro for the first time in the hundred years of cell culture technology. This has resulted in spectacular long term performance over several weeks at a patient's bedside. This major achievement at the beginning of the 21 st century fortunately coincided with an embarrassing gap in the measures to predict safety and the mode of action of chemicals, cosmetics, air particles or pharmaceuticals. This was fully recognized through eye-opening disasters and substance recalls worldwide. Neither animal tests nor conventional human cell line or tissue testing have been able to reflect the complex interaction of the substances with consumers biology at organ level. Tremendous efforts initiated in response to this situation have already led to a few impressive human in vitro systems, reduced in size and able to provide research data on individual aspects of substance interaction with human organisms.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
