Abstract: A bioreactor having: a reaction chamber; a first port adapted for the introduction of human cells; a second port adapted for gas exchange, the second port comprising a filter; a third port adapted for introducing culture medium; a fourth port adapted for sampling cells; and a fifth port adapted for harvesting the human cells after they have been cultured.

Abstract: An apparatus for increasing the humidification of the air stream breathed by a patient, having a tubular body that can be coupled to a heat and moisture exchange filter and forms a channel for the passage of an air stream. At least one portion of the channel is provided by a membrane impermeable to gases and permeable to ions and molecules with a partial charge. The membrane delimits an interspace that is external to the channel and allows passage of a water vapor flow.
