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…
Why is testing important? One million cases of colon cancer are diagnosed each year around the world. Colorectal cancer develops slowly. The tumor, called polyp, appears on the inner wall of the colon and rectum. The evolution of a polyp into cancer can last about ten years. The test can Read more…

End of last year, the american legislation has ratified that new drugs no longer need to be tested in animals to receive Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. This is a huge step toward animal-free validation of drugs, but it requires the design of a relevant and more predictive drug 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…
BIOMIMESYS® Liver recreates the complex cellular microenvironment of the liver to extend longevity and functionality of hepatocytes in culture: The life of human primary hepatocytes grown in a 2D sandwich is low, 3-10 days (1) and is accompanied by dedifferentiation, leading to the loss of their functions. In 2D culture, Read more…
2D cell culture has been used for more than 100 years now, to keep cells outside of their original organism and to use them for different purposes. It is still widely used in research and early steps of the drug discovery process, and has allowed a bunch of discoveries so Read more…
As you might know, October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer. Research is the key tool to fight this disease and we are very happy to collaborate with amazing research teams in this fight. Since last year, our Read more…
Summer is alway a good time to improve our services. Then we are very happy to introduce our updated Skin Pigmentation and Oxidative Stress services. Pigmentation is particularly regulated at the cellular level by melanocytes synthesizing melanin within melanosomes, which can be produced in varying sizes, numbers, and densities. In order to evaluate Read more…

Abstract The extracellular polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) controls cell migration, differentiation and proliferation, and contributes to the invasiveness of human cancers. The roles of HA cell surface receptors and hyaluronidases (HAses) in this process are still controversial. In order to investigate their involvement in cancer pathogenesis, we developed a reticulated HA Read more…
