In Vitro 3D Heart - Microtissue Model for Understanding Cardiotoxicity

Posted by Evotec on Feb 11, 2021 6:09:41 PM

In vitro 3D microtissue models are transforming our understanding of cardiotoxicity.

In this poster, we focus on:

  • the use of a 3D cardiac triculture model consisting of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes, cardiovascular endothelial cells and cardiac fibroblasts in cardiotoxicity prediction
  • the detection of functional and structural mechanisms of cardiotoxicity
  • calcium flux as a sensitive detection method for cardiac contraction as well as microtissue area for identifying cardiac hypertrophy
  • HCS detection of cell health markers such as mitochondrial function, calcium homeostasis and nuclei/DNA structure
