Optimizing alginate tubes for cell culture

Cells can be cultured to very high densities in hollow alginate tubes (5−10×108cells/mL), with the provisothat their nutrient and oxygen needs are met. After the tubes have been extruded, they are suspended in growth medium. Nutrients and metabolic products pass readily through the alginate tube wal...
