Biomechanical models of fibrosis: 2D and 3D hydrogels with fibroblasts culture systems.

Applications

  • Mechanistic studies.
  • Cell stiffness.
  • Novel mechanoregulatory pathways.
  • Cell-to-cell, cell-to-matrix interactions.
  • Predictive data in normal and pathologic situation.
  • Mechanisms of drug action.
  • Potential targets identification.
  • Therapeutic effects validation.
  • Drug combinations and reproval from preexisting treatments.
  • Drug resistance mechanisms.
  • Personalized treatment.

Model advantages

This model allows the modulation of matrix rigidity and other culture conditions to reproduce the desired pa- thologic stage or condition, obtaining physiologically relevant information.
