Health networks: the blood and immune system
The blood and immune system plays a crucial role in the health and well-being of the human body.
The blood system not only transports vital nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to the cells, but also immune cells, which are responsible for defense against pathogens.
As a cellular model of the blood system, Biotesys uses endothelial cells to study the formation of new blood vessels and the response to various stimuli:
- Angiogenesis-related effects (e.g. tube formation assay)
- Determination of cellular markers
In the field of the immune system, in vitro assays enable the reactions of immune cells such as T cells, B cells, and macrophages to be analyzed. Various assays can be used to test their activation, proliferation, and cytokine production under different conditions:
