Creative Biolabs Drug Discovery Models: From 3D Tumor Spheroids to "Miniaturized Human Bodies" on a Chip

Share this news:

As a CRO company dedicated to advancing life sciences, Creative Biolabs builds increasingly sophisticated human-relevant models that improve the predictive power of every step of drug development.

-- In the pursuit of new drugs and disease research, scientists are continuously pushing beyond the limitations of traditional cell assays and animal models, instead using innovative systems that more closely reflect human physiological states.

3D Tumor Spheroids: Restoring the Authenticity of the Microenvironment

Conventional two-dimensional cell culturing remains ubiquitous for its ease, yet it fails to represent the intricate cell interactions in a three-dimensional context. In response, Creative Biolabs provides custom-engineered 3D tumor spheroid model services. These models more closely resemble the migration, proliferation, and treatment resistance of cancer cells by simulating the spatial structure and nutritional gradients of tumors in vitro

"If 2D cultures show us a 'single building,' then spheroid models reveal a 'miniature city,'" as one scientist at Creative Biolabs vividly explained. The expert team at Creative Biolabs has already applied different types of spheroid models to drug screening, target validation, and mechanism studies, helping researchers more accurately assess the potential of drug candidates in the preclinical stage.

Creative Biolabs offers various constructed tumor spheroids, thereby catering to clients' specific requirements.

* 3D Human Blood-Brain Barrier Spheroid Model

* 3D Human Retinal Pigment Epithelial Spheroid Model

* 3D Human Cortical Spheroid Model

* 3D Hepatocyte-Stellate Cell Spheroid Model

"Miniaturized Human Bodies" on a Chip

If 3D spheroids represent the "micro-ecosystem" of tumor research, then Organ-on-a-Chip is the "in vitro human body" of drug development. In order to replicate the structure and capabilities of actual human organs, Creative Biolabs is extending its offerings in this field by using microfluidic technology to embed cells and tissues within chip platforms.

The Disease-on-a-Chip model platforms developed by Creative Biolabs have already become indispensable tools for pharmaceutical companies to evaluate drug efficacy and safety.

Among the various models

* Lung-on-a-Chip can reconstruct gas exchange and airway inflammation.

* Liver-on-a-Chip recreates metabolic activity and drug responses.

* Gut-on-a-Chip reveals the dynamic interplay between microbes and host immunity.

* Heart-Liver-Skin Three-Organ-on-a-Chip enables simultaneous observation of cardiac, hepatic, and skin responses in a connected microfluidic system.

Chip-based systems exhibit great promise, particularly in medication safety evaluation and personalized medicine research, as they can produce more predictive outcomes faster than traditional animal models. As a result, more and more partners are choosing Creative Biolabs to integrate these models into their development pipelines, thereby improving efficiency and reducing the risk of failure.

Organ-on-a-Chip and 3D spheroids are complementary tools rather than substitutes for one another. They are developing a multifaceted, multilayered research platform that offers preclinical studies more trustworthy evidence. The scientist summarized it well: "Drug discovery is moving toward greater precision and personalization. What we are doing is helping researchers bring laboratory experiments closer to the reality of human biology."
