Three dimensional culture techniques have attracted much attention in the field of tissue engineering. Among them, the RWV (rotating wall vessel) bioreactor, which simulates a microgravity environment for cells, is becoming recognized as a useful tool for several kinds of the cells for tissue regene

Abstract
This is the first successful report of the rapid regeneration of three‐dimensional large and homogeneous cartilaginous tissue from rabbit bone marrow cells without a scaffold using a rotating wall vessel (RWV) bioreactor, which simulates a microgravity environment for cells. Bone marrow cells cultured for 3 weeks in DMEM were resuspended and cultured for 4 weeks in the chondrogenic medium within the vessel. Large cylindrical cartilaginous tissue with dimensions of (1.25 ± 0.06) × (0.60 ± 0.08) cm (height × diameter) formed. Their cartilage marker expression was confirmed by mRNA expressions of aggrecan, collagen type I and II, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG)/DNA ratio. Their cartilaginous properties were demonstrated by toluidine blue, safranin‐O staining, and polarization. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
