Summary of the technology
The project, termed CardioSlice, includes:
An effective in vitro tool for drug screening heart disease models
A new technology for the generation of mature human cardiomyocytes
Details of the Technology Offer
Due to the complexity of the structural organization of cardiac tissue, the generation of in vitro heart models is a challenge. Engineered cardiac macrotissues that resemble human native cardiac tissue are needed for drug screening and cardiotoxicity testing.
Authors have developed a system that allows the generation of mature human cardiomyocytes. The technology is based on bioreactors that enable 3D culture of patient-derived-iPS (pluripotent stem cells)
This technology can be applied for the in vitro use of a cardiac construct for the screening and evaluation of compounds for cardioprotective or cardiotoxic properties, as well as for disease modeling.
IDIBELL is seeking a company partner to further develop the technology through a license agreement or an establishment of a Spin-off company.
