Poster – Including the matricial tumoral microenvironment in 3D in vitro models by using a Hyaluronic-Acid-based hydroscaffold™

Abstract: In oncology, 97% of drug candidates fail in clinical trials. This highlights a lack of relevance of preclinical models used upstream. Indeed, human in vitro models don’t consider the Tumoral Extracellular Matrix (TECM). However, more and more studies demonstrate that ECM composition and stiffness are modified in tumors and Read more…

Feedback of Natacha’s internship about the matrix remodeling in Parkinson’s disease: an in vitro study

This is the end of the 6-month internship of Natacha in HCS Pharma, about the microenvironment modifications in Parkinson’s disease. Indeed, in vivo studies in the literature showed that the neuronal death in Parkinson’s disease involved Extracellular Matrix (ECM) modifications, including an increase in some components like collagen and a Read more…

Healthcare or how to find new treatments: History (hasardous), today (inefficient) and future (with BIOMIMESYS®)

In this presentation, Nathalie MAUBON (CEO HCS Pharma), give an overview of drugs discovery, from pre-19th century are, where trials are done on humans, to nowadays where clinical trials are safer but with a dramatic rate of failure. She explains what are the “target base screening” and the “phenotypic screening Read more…
