Published applications of PromoCell cell culture media in mouse and rat (murine) research models

PromoCell media are developed and optimized for human primary cells.

At the same time, published peer-reviewed studies show that researchers have successfully applied our media in murine systems, including mouse and rat models.

These publications span a wide range of biomedical research areas.

What does this mean for you?

The available evidence shows that PromoCell media are adaptable to murine cell culture workflows. This can reduce the need to adapt to different media systems across model organisms.

On this page, you’ll find a curated overview of peer-reviewed studies where PromoCell media were used in murine systems.

Why are murine models used in translational research?

Murine models (mouse and rat) play an established role in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research, particularly in early-stage development. While human primary cell systems ensure translational relevance to human biology, murine models are also used alongside to provide valuable preclinical insights.

Murine systems support:

  • Mechanistic insights: Understand disease pathways and cellular interactions before moving to human-based systems
  • Preclinical validation: Assess efficacy, toxicity, and dosing of therapeutic candidates
  • Complex biological systems: Investigate whole-system responses in oncology, immunology, and regenerative medicine

Where has PromoCell media been used in murine systems?

Peer-reviewed publications demonstrate the use of PromoCell media in murine systems across a range of research applications, including:

  • Mesenchymal stem cell-based regenerative medicine
  • Macrophage-mediated immune modulation in cancer
  • Keratinocyte-based models of inflammatory skin diseases.
  • Airway epithelial cell models in respiratory research
  • Endothelial and fibroblast-based cardiovascular studies.

These studies highlight how researchers integrate our media into murine workflows across diverse experimental settings.

Important information: PromoCell media are specifically developed and validated for human cells. Use in non-human systems has not been systematically optimized or validated by PromoCell and is based on independent research findings.

FAQ

Peer-reviewed studies have reported the use of selected PromoCell media in a variety of mouse and rat research models, including applications in regenerative medicine, immunology, cancer research, and skin biology. However, these applications are based on independent findings and have not been systematically optimized by PromoCell. For this reason, any use in non-human systems should be carefully evaluated within your specific experimental context.
Published studies describe the use of PromoCell media across several broad research areas, including regenerative medicine, immunology, oncology, respiratory research, and skin biology. These examples reflect independent research use and are not exhaustive.
Published studies report the use of PromoCell media with a range of murine cell types. Examples include primary murine cardiac and dermal fibroblasts, bone marrow–derived mesenchymal stem cells, and tumor-associated macrophages. In epithelial systems, researchers have used PromoCell media for murine airway and mammary epithelial cells, as well as renal tubular cells. Applications have also been described in keratinocytes, endothelial cells (e.g., aortic or lung-derived cells), and skeletal or cardiac muscle cells.
Human primary cells are essential for ensuring translational relevance to human biology and remain the foundation of many research and development workflows. At the same time, murine models are often used in earlier or complementary stages of research to provide additional insights into disease mechanisms, cellular interactions, and therapeutic responses.
