Ex vivo models are a powerful tool that provides valuable insights into the functioning of complex biological systems. These models are created using tissues that are kept alive outside of the body under optimized conditions. Ex vivo models provide a great alternative to in vivo models in their ability to offer more precise experimental conditions and the ability to identify a tissue response to particular stimuli.

Here are some of the companies that are advancing research using ex vivo models:

‍

AnaBios

Located in San Diego, CA, AnaBios offers a wide array of assays and other technologies that enable the study of ex vivo human responses to certain drugs and help investigate human physiology's molecular and functional basis. AnaBios's primary focus is in areas of unmet medical need, including cardiac diseases, pain, polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and neurodegeneration. This company uses its proprietary platform to support lead optimization, target, and candidate selection.

‍

Genoskin

Located in Salem, MA, Genoskin provides human skin models for testing pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetic products. Genoskin's proprietary technology allows for stable long-term ex vivo cultivation of fresh human skin biopsies. As there is no loss of morphology, physiology, and cutaneous barrier function, these biopsies serve as an excellent replacement for animal testing.
