Musculoskeletal system

When joints crack: a look behind the scenes of the musculoskeletal system

The human musculoskeletal system consists of two main components: the skeletal system and the muscular system.

How can a product affect the proliferation of muscle cells?

How can a substance influence the differentiation of cartilage or bone forming cells?

How can a product alter the expression pattern of genes associated with inflammation, matrix production and degradation in chondrocytes?

BioTeSys can support you in answering such questions by using in vitro test systems. The following assays, among others, are established in our laboratory:

• Muscle cell proliferation
• Differentiation promoting/inhibiting effect
• Antioxidative and anti-inflammatory capacity
• Regulation of cellular marker
