Bioreactor expands health research - This page at Marshall Space Flight Center describes NASA's bioreactor, a rotating wall incubator used in space and on Earth that allows aggregates of tissue to form in three dimensions as opposed to the two dimensional tissue masses that form in traditional cell culture.

Bioreactor tools - This page at Marshall Space Flight Center describes the Bioreactor Demonstration System (BDS), Biotechnology Specimen Temperature Controller (BSTC), Biotechnology Refrigerator (BTR), and the Gas Supply Module. These systems have flown on the Space Shuttle and Space Station Mir.

Bioreactor: Flight results - This NASA Marshall Space Center page describes the results obtained from flying Bioreactor hardware aboard the Space Shuttle and Space Station Mir.

Bioreactor: Ground-based research results - This NASA Marshall Space Center page describes a number of ground-based research programs that have utilized NASA bioreactor technology and the results from their research.
