Microtissues
Microtissues (or co-cultures) are multi-cellular aggregates cultivated to model specific tissues found in the human body, including cardiac, brain, hepatic (liver), and skeletal muscle tissues. These miniature tissue constructs are generated using specific cell types or mixtures of cell types, replicating the complexity of native tissues.
Microtissues serve as advanced in vitro models enabling researchers to investigate various tissue-specific functions, cell-cell interactions and the intricate biology underlying these processes. This includes studying the behavior of cardiomyocytes in cardiac microtissues, hepatocytes in hepatic microtissues, myocytes in skeletal muscle microtissues or analyzing neurites in brain microtissues.
