Read about our collaborative study with Amsterdam UMC on a multicellular human 3D Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) on-a-chip model comprising human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs). This model provides critical insights into barrier disruption, endothelial inflammation, and T cell migration under neuroinflammatory conditions, mimicking diseases like multiple sclerosis and stroke. The BBB-on-a-chip shows great potential for studying immune cell infiltration and evaluating new therapeutic strategies. Notably, the findings indicate that T cell migration is reduced by Natalizumab, a treatment for multiple sclerosis. This research marks a significant advancement in understanding neuroinflammation and developing targeted therapies for neurological disorders. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eqE9KdJW #Neuroscience #Research #BloodBrainBarrier #OrganOnAChip #Neuroinflammation

💻 ON-DEMAND WEBINAR: Advancing Toxicity Research with 3D Tissue Models and Novel Imaging Techniqes In case you missed it, or would just like to re-watch the webinar, we teamed up with experts from MIMETAS to discuss how pre-clinical in vitro toxicity evaluation of drug compounds can draw meaningful conclusions about safety studies for drug discovery. We also share insights from three comprehensive and reproducible #3DTissueModels and their toxic responses to drug and inflammatory mediators using various types of assays. Key takeaways include: — Discover how to scale up high-throughput workflows by leveraging the #OrganoPlate platform's compatibility with high-content imaging  — Understand how #LabAutomation can increase the efficiency and productivity of tedious 3D drug screening workflows — Learn how to create disease-related 3D model workflows for screening and #DrugDiscovery Watch here: https://bit.ly/3SlMSqa #3DBiology #AutomatedWorkflow #HighContentImaging #HighContentScreening

We're delighted to announce that MIMETAS has contributed vital human organ-on-chip data to support an Investigational New Drug (IND) application by argenx. This preclinical collaboration investigated the effects of a novel candidate in a human in vitro disease assay in MIMETAS’ OrganoPlate platform. The results contributed to the IND application, representing a significant milestone for both MIMETAS and argenx. This aligns with the 2022 FDA Modernization Act 2.0, emphasizing the importance of advanced in vitro models for drug safety and effectiveness. “By embracing advanced human in vitro models over traditional methods like 2D cell culture and animal models, we can bridge a critical gap towards advancing new therapies,” says our CEO, Jos Joore. 🔗 Read the press release: https://lnkd.in/e-yaPQS6 #DrugDiscovery #InnovativeScience #IND #FDA #Pharma

Today marks our last day of the MasterClass in Amsterdam where we get inspired by the amazing technologies of intestine on a chip! Missed this one? Visit our website for the upcoming events: https://lnkd.in/dxFsdWUk Should you use organ on a chip technology and if so how should you approach this? Yesterday we answered these questions through: -       Expert views by dr Jianbo Zhang and dr Sebo Withoff were we gain in-depth insights on ongoing intestine on a chip research -       Commercial session by MIMETAS and Dynamic42 GmbH where the different technologies are showcased. -       Organ on a chip Challenge where you develop your own organ on a chip assay And today we wrap up with the Organ on a chip Challenge presentations where we apply the knowledge to showcase organ on a chip assays that the participants develop from an idea to concrete plans. This always leads to fruitful and lively discussions and sometimes these ideas even go into execution! Follow us to stay up to date with upcoming MasterClasses and more!

Snapshots from Europe's largest neuroscience congress, Federation of European Neuroscience Societies - FENS Forum 2024, where cutting-edge research and innovation in neuroscience take center stage. Our Director of Biology Services, Nienke Wevers, had the pleasure of presenting our latest breakthroughs to an enthusiastic audience. 📊 We showcased two insightful posters: - "Blood-Brain Barrier On-A-Chip To Study Compound-Induced Disruption" - "Human BBB-On-A-Chip Reveals Barrier Disruption, Endothelial Inflammation, And T Cell Migration Under Neuroinflammatory Conditions" Nienke's presentations sparked engaging discussions on these critical areas of research, highlighting the advancements MIMETAS is making in understanding the complexities of the blood-brain barrier and neuroinflammation. 📥 Interested in diving deeper into our findings?
