4Dcell is a pionneer in the development and commercialization of microfabricated systems dedicated to the control of the cell microenvironment. Our team brings all its expertise to help you in your experiments, allowing you creating the ultimate cell microenvironment.
EXAMPLES OF APPLICATIONS
CANCER RESEARCH
Cell mechanics or cell organization are key parameters for cancer development and metastasis.
4Dcell enables to better control these parameters and offer new read-outs to decipher cancer progression and invasiveness.
For instance, spindle assembly disorders of cancerous cells are easily assessed via Cell confinement technology.
IMMUNOLOGY
Sensing and migration in the tissues is the basis of the immune system functionning.
4Dcell technologies are the best tools to quantitfy immune activities such as cell migration, cell-interaction, nucleus plasticity, among others.
For instance, 4Dcell Microchannels can quantify leukocyte extravasation ability, with read-outs such as: cell speed, persistence and ability to pass through constricted spaces.
ORGAN PHYSIOLOGY
The regular physiology of cells in living organs is closely linked with its spatial and mechanical organization.
4Dcell offers simple and representative models highlighting organ specific read-outs.
For instance, 4Dcell Micropatterns induce striation of cardiomyocyte leading to standardized beating properties and internal organization.
RARE DISEASES
Rare diseases are often linked to cell mechanics or cell organization disorders.
The 4Dcell technologies highlight alterations like these and one can measure molecular modifications more easily than with other models.
For instance, cell nucleus healing in laminopathy is evaluated using Cell confinement by the observation of lamina reconstruction as a read-out.
European commission supports 4Dcell in innovative research
ERC Poc program optimized the development of cell confinement
4Dcell was also nominated for the i-Lab 2018 national competition for innovative technologies company creation.
4Dcell is one of the 2018 laureates of the most important french entrepreneur network.
Reseau Entreprendre Paris is partner in 4Dcell success with a loan to achieve the first operational prototype of the new generation of multiwell plates for 3D cell culture.
