ARTICLE FROM REPROCELL
Use Alvetex® as tool for dermatologic drug discovery, skin disease modelling and more
REPROCELL has published an article disucssing about the use of Alvetex® in creating in vitro 3D cell culture system for various skin related research applications, such as dermatologic drug discovery, skin disease modelling, cosmetic dermatology research, skin ageing and regeneration research.
Introducing Alvetex®: 3D Cell Culture Systems for tissue engineering
Alvetex enhances the biological relevance of your cell culture research
Alvetex is a highly porous polystyrene scaffold presented as a 200 µm thick membrane, adapted to fit a variety of conventional cell culture plasticware formats.
Alvetex 3D cell culture systems enable cells to maintain their natural shape and to freely interact with neighbouring cells in 3D so that they function in a more physiologically relevant manner.

Alvetex® 3D Cell Culture Systems For Tissue Engineering
The Alvetex® 3D cell culture scaffold is made of highly porous polystyrene – the same material used to make most disposable cell culture plasticware. After coating Alvetex with the extracellular matrix protein of your choice (optional), mammalian cells will adhere and grow on the surface of the device or within the porous matrix, depending upon the device and application.
