Intestines and mucous membranes

Focus on mucous membranes

Mucous membranes are specialized tissues that line various body cavities and surfaces, including the mouth, nose, throat, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and reproductive organs.

Biotesys conducts studies on specific cell lines to analyze specific physiological endpoints. In addition, advanced 3D tissue models are used to realistically replicate the natural structure and function of the tissue. The use of such models is an ethical approach to studying the interactions between different substances and the mucous membranes of the human body.

To test the reactions of these cellular models to various stimuli under controlled conditions, Biotesys offers the following assays, among others:

• Bioavailability tests
• Regulation of satiety via the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
• Antioxidant and immunomodulatory capacity
• Toxicity tests
• Wound healing
• Mucoadhesive effect
