Traditionally cell based studies for respiratory viruses were performed on 2D monolayer cell cultures. In-vivo studies heavily relied on animal models. Both types of models however were not successful at accurately mimicking the in-vivo physiology…
In the past 2 years, with the Covid-19 pandemic we have witnessed how a single virus can cripple the economy of nations and impact every day life. Respiratory viral infections, which includes severe acute respiratory…
Primary cell cultures are ex-vivo cultures produced from cells that are freshly harvested from a multicellular organism. Generally, primary cell cultures are more representative of in-vivo tissues than immortalized cell lines (1). However culturing primary…
The Epithelium is a thin, continuous, layer of tightly packed cells formed as complex 3D structures such as cysts, tubules or invaginations. The shape of the epithelium is essential for its function as it aids…
Introduction Cell-based in vitro assays play an increasingly important role in basic research and applied pharmacology and toxicology. These methods generate valuable data and help researchers better understand human physiology and pathophysiology. To improve the…
3D CELL CULTURE BIOFLOAT™ coatings from faCellitate provide a highly defined, fully inert cell- and protein-repellent surface. The polymeric coating enables a fast er generation of 3D spheroids, which shortens your experimental timeline and prevents…
Reliable in vitro testing models such as three-dimensional (3D) spheroid cell cultures are needed for successful drug discovery and development. Innovative technologies are standardizing and streamlining these advanced culture systems and supporting the development of more physiologically…
