Mimicking the body’s largest organ in vitro with 3D skin models
Researchers are increasingly using 3D cell cultures to study the skin’s features. Three-dimensional skin models offer the potential to study various diseases and test compounds in vitro. Dr. Florian Groeber-Becker from the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC in Wurzburg has developed a highly sophisticated skin model.
It is the first thing people see when they look at us….

Macrophages: The high-flyers of biomedical research
One cell type can fight disease, help form blood vessels, regulate cell stability— and more. Macrophages are true masters of multitasking. In our body they are the first line of defense against invading bacteria, fungi and viruses. But they are not only a key element of our immune defense; they can also play a role in destroying tissue,…

Teaching the body to fight tumors using cancer immunotherapy
Selected as the 2013 “Breakthrough of the Year” by Science magazine, cancer immunotherapy shows a completely new way to treat malignancies by using the body’s own immune system, and not by targeting the tumor itself. This cutting-edge area of research and therapy has shown very promising results. However, further investigation is needed to turn immunotherapy into a cancer therapy that can be broadly applied….

Primary Cancer Cells: A Culture System Opens the Door to Individualized Therapy
Self-destruction of the body: Cancer turns normal body cells into their malignant counterpart that wants to keep on replicating by any means. Understanding the individual disease offers the potential for more effective therapies with fewer side effects. The new PromoCell Primary Cancer Culture System allows researchers to generate high-fidelity in vitro models of primary tumors….
