Learn how these advanced 3D tissue models generated on the Mantarray platform can improve the physiological relevance of preclinical cardiac and skeletal muscle models, accelerating the discovery of new medicines.


TORONTO (PRWEB)

3D cellular models and organs-on-chips are poised to add tremendous value by providing human data earlier in the drug discovery pipeline. There is intense interest in adopting these 3D models in preclinical and translational research, but their complex implementation has remained a roadblock for many labs.

In this webinar, Curi Bio will present its Mantarray platform, which represents an easy-to-use, flexible, and scalable system for generating 3D EMTs at high-throughput with the ability to measure contractility in parallel. The platform features a novel method of casting 3D tissues that can be easily performed by nearly any cell biology researcher and can be readily adapted to a variety of cell lines and extracellular matrices. In addition, Mantarray’s novel magnetic sensing modality permits contractility measurement of 24 tissues in parallel and in real time, while the cloud data analysis portal takes the guesswork out of analyzing and comparing results across experiments.

Register for this webinar to hear an overview of the technology, along with application examples across various use cases, including:

  •     Cardiac applications that focus on the assessment of drug toxicity for acute proarrhythmic compounds as well as for chronic structural cardiotoxicants.

  •     Skeletal muscle applications that can achieve tetanic contractions and fatigability, as well as stain positively for muscle specific markers, including fast myosin and desmin.

  •     Disease models generated from iPSCs, as well as patients with rare diseases such as muscular dystrophy, and tested on the platform.

Learn how these advanced 3D tissue models generated on the Mantarray platform can improve the physiological relevance of preclinical cardiac and skeletal muscle models, accelerating the discovery of new medicines.

Join Dr. Nicholas Geisse, Chief Science Officer at Curi Bio, for the live webinar on Friday, October 22, 2021 at 1pm EDT.
