Abstract

The physiological complexity of cellular interactions is often neglected using in vitro models: these interactions can affect the behavior of the cells and diversify the outcome of nanomedicine treatments. In vitro investigations on complex biomimetic systems allows for obtaining more predictive results before moving towards pre-clinical testing.
In this talk, we will provide some examples of advanced in vitro microphysiological systems, with special focus on the central nervous system, and on alternative ethical issues-free in vivo models, based on quail embryos.

※This seminar and Q&A session will be conducted in English.
