Where Do NAMs Fit in Drug Development?
In our last article, we explored how selecting the right model depends on the scientific question and the stage of research. We summarized the strengths and limitations of animal- and human-derived cells and discussed why moving toward more human-relevant models is...
The Right Model at the Right Time for the Right Scientific Question
It is no secret that cell-based models are the backbone of modern drug discovery. For decades, researchers have used animal-based models including cells and whole animals to investigate mechanisms of disease, screen compounds, and support preclinical research. Over...
ECM-Based vs. ECM-Free? Choosing the Right Format for 2D and 3D Models
What is the difference between ECM-based and ECM-free systems in 2D and 3D cell culture? When are ECM-derived cues required for tissue organization and differentiation in 3D models? How do researchers choose between ECM-based and ECM-free culture formats for their...
How Do Transwell and TEER Assays Help Us Understand Biological Barrier Function?
How do Transwell assays help model biological barriers in the lab? What does TEER tell us about barrier integrity and tight-junction strength? How can these assays advance our understanding of drug transport and disease? Biological barriers are critical for...
Why and How Do We Study Keratinocytes?
In a previous article we introduced keratinocytes and looked at their biological functions and subtypes. Here, we explore some of the main reasons researchers study keratinocytes and the various approaches used. We focus on 2D assay formats, outlining their advantages...
