    BIOMIMESYS® Oncology

    3D cell culture model for tumor cells

    Product Basics

    BIOMIMESYS® Oncology is a Hyaluronic acid (HA) based scaffold 3D cell culture model. This groundbreaking 3D cell culture technology associates the behavior of a solid scaffold and of a hydrogel, which we call “Hydroscaffold”. The Hydroscaffold’s composition and mechanical properties can mimics the microenvironment of tumor cells. This scaffold provided cell binding sites with CD44 and RHAMM allowing cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions. Also, proven to provide better in vitro/in vivo correlation than 2D models.

    Better reproducibility of mechanical stress on cells

    Mechanical stress in solid tumors can impede drug delivery and may additionally drive tumor progression and promote metastasis.  Mechanistically, biomechanical forces can drive tumor aggression by inducing a mesenchymal-like switch in transformed cells so that they attain tumor-initiating or stem-like cell properties. ¹ (Northey et al, 2017)

    Above shows the increase in cellular proliferation in response to mechanical stress (2x in stiffness) of 3D matrices. Mechanical stress on cells can be mimicked by increasing in solid fiber (GAGs and collagens) concentration with BIOMIMESYS ®. This cannot be reproduced on 2D or 3D cell culture using hydrogels or Matrigel.

    Better in vitro/in vivo correlation

    By using BIOMIMESYS® Oncology, anti-oncogenic drugs (such as 5-Fluorouracil, 5-FU) showed cytotoxic effects closer to human responses compared to 2D culture.

    Ready to use

    BIOMIMESYS® Oncology is EASY & READY TO USE. Upon receiving the vacuum sealed 96-well plate open it (under a hood) and add the cells directly on top of the matrix. Changing the culture medium is easy as well. To remove medium, simply draw the medium with a pipette between the matrix and the edge of the well. To refresh the medium, place fresh medium onto the surface of the matrix.
