IN VITRO FIBROSIS
ASSAY SERVICES

OVERVIEW

Advancements in therapeutics development to treat fibrotic diseases require the use of robust, scalable, physiologically relevant assays to maximize their potential clinical success, and the history of failure of anti-fibrotic agents at clinical stages highlights this need. Our in vitro assays model various types of fibrosis with cell-culture protocols that minimize basal fibrotic activation to offer quick, reproducible data in a predictive assay window, so you can avoid the cost- and time-prohibitive barriers inherent to animal models. You can choose from our list of pre-validated Ready-2-Go assays, or work with our team to design a custom assay to suit your research needs.

EXAMPLES OF IN VITRO MODELS WE USE


  • Primary cells (e.g., normal human lung fibroblasts, hepatic stellate cells, dermal cells)
  • Cell lines (e.g., MRC-5 )
