Human tissue in vivo exists in 3D form, and culturing these in 2D format results in loss of function. Responses of 3D tissues to drugs, chemicals and cosmetics have been demonstrated to more closely predict human in vivo responses.
For more than 15 years, REPROCELL’s Chief Scientific Officer and Durham University Professor of Cell Technology Stefan Przyborski and his team have harnessed our award-winning Alvetex™ 3D scaffold technology to develop assays for testing pharmaceutical compounds in 3D models of human tissue e.g. skin, liver and neuronal aggregates.
