It has been likened to an overfed starfish.  In reality, however, what may look like just a yellow plastic thing is actually a bioreactor—a 3-dimensional breeding ground for cells—which much improves upon the 2-dimensional petri dish.  Applications for bioreactors include growing pancreas, liver, bone marrow, neuronal, skin, and cancer stem cells for research and therapeutic purposes.  The combination of the bioreactor to grow cells, a unique cell spraying system, and a “wound cap” offer potentially new therapies for burn victims.
