We asked to ChatGPT what BIOMIMESYS technology can bring you to immuno-oncology

… And it is right ! “Biomimesys technology can bring several advantages in immuno-oncology by providing a more physiologically relevant 3D cell culture model for research. This technology uses a bioinspired extracellular matrix to create a three-dimensional environment that more closely resembles the natural cellular environment. In immuno-oncology, 2D cell 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…

Human liver organoids and disease models, it’s time to use a more realistic ECM

The current hiPSC-derived models are adapted to reproduce diseases of genetic origin in two dimensions and have allowed in recent years to model diseases by using hepatocyte-like-cells (HCL) such as: Alpha1-antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency (Tafaleng et al., 2015) Familial transthyretin-related amyloidosis (ATTR) (Isono et al., 2014) Glycogen storage deficiency (Satoh et Read more…

Extracellular matrix modifications are involved in cancer initiation, progression and propagation

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is the non-cellular component of tissue. Its is mainly composed of structural and adhesion molecules, such as hyaluronic acid, collagene, proteoglycans, fibronectin, elastin, although its specific composition and structure vary between different tissues. It is a dynamic structure, which is involved not only in the cell Read more…

Importance of the liver extracellular matrix in the development of NASH/ASH

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a non-cellular component of tissues and organs. It is mainly composed of structural elements (proteoglycans collagens, elastin) and cell adhesion proteins such as fibronectin and laminins. The ECM forms a complex structure with physical properties (elasticity, tensile and compression strength), which provides physical support for Read more…
