Organoids are three-dimensional structures made of cells, which can be derived from stem cells to mimic the structure and function of real organs. They are useful tools for studying human development, disease modeling, drug screening, and personalized medicine. Recent advancements in organoid research have focused on improving their complexity and Read more…
The congress of European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV) took place from 21st to 25th November 2022. This congress is focus on the alternative methods to animal testing, including both in silico and in vitro modeling. After a nice opening ceremony with a flamenco show, the scientific program begun Read more…
Our Project Leader in in vitro pharmacology Méryl Roudaut will present his presentation entitled “A single procedure to generate functional hiPSCs-derived liver organoids – Towards an innovative tools suitable for drug screening” during the session: Early Stage Researcher Session I (Tuesday, November 22nd, 2022). Abstract #165: We previously showed that Read more…
Our project director Elodie is participating to EUSAAT congress in Linz (Austria) this week, the European Congress on Alternatives to Animal Testing. She will have the pleasure to present our work aiming at bridging the gap between in vivo and in vitro situations by taking into account the extracellular matrix Read more…
Scanning Electron Microscopy (EM) has been an indispensable tool for Biological sciences. A great challenge was propelled by the need to find methods to better preserve and analyze structures at a state closest to the native state. With BIOMIMESYS® hydroscaffold technology, we have developed a new method to use SEM Read more…
Launched in 2016, the adventure is coming to an end after 5 years of work carried out within the RHU CHOPIN (CHOlesterol Personalized INnovation), and with a strong collaboration between HCS Pharma and l’Institut du thorax. This collaborative project of national scope was led by Professor Bertrand Cariou, director of Read more…
Biomimesys is providing a great opportunity to culture human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in 3D and differentiate them into different kind of cell types including liver cells. Showcased by Méryl Roudaut at the 20th International Congress on In Vitro Toxicology (ESTIV2018), our co-development with the institute du thorax (U1087) Read more…
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) are becoming a relevant model for the study of liver metabolic diseases once differentiated into hepatocyte-like cells (HLC), and it has been shown that they can faithfully recapitulate autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH). PCSK9 is a critical modulator of cholesterol homeostasis, and quickly became a Read more…
Méryl Roudaut* will present a poster on the work of Institut du Thorax
