DESCRIPTION:Micro- and nano-structured membranes designed and 
 operated according to well-defined engineering cri
 teria are able to sustain cellular specific functi
 ons\, to provide adequate mass transfer of molecul
 es throughout the cellular compartment and to supp
 ly appropriate biomechanical stimuli of the develo
 ping tissue. In this paper the author shows bioins
 pired approaches such as those related to the use 
 of different tailor-made bioengineered membrane sy
 stems using liver cells\, stem cells\, neuronal ce
 lls\, and keratinocytes. Membrane bioreactors may 
 simulate the in vivo complex physiological environ
 ment ensuring an adequate mass transfer of nutrien
 ts and metabolites and the molecular and mechanica
 l regulatory signals. Membrane bioreactors develop
 ed to create a liver   organotypic system and a ne
 uronal network with defined functional\, geometric
  and neuroanatomical features will be presented.
