The original purpose of the RCCS bioreactor was to simulate microgravity. During ground experiments using this reactor, it was noticed that cells suspended in these reactors tended to form 3D aggregates. Since then, these RCCS bioreactors have been used in several fields of cell and tissue culture. Applications of the RCCS bioreactor range from basic cell biology to space biology, culturing stem cells for regenerative medicine and drug development and possibly, in the future, the development of therapies for disease and injury.
