J-TEC utilizes its advanced tissue culture technologies to develop human tissue model products for research use, thereby promoting in vitro research across a wide range of scientific fields.
LabCyte: 3-Dimensional Reconstructed Human Tissue Models
LabCyte models are human tissue models for research use, generated by culturing human-derived cells in vitro. By recapitulating the structure and morphology of human tissues, they provide highly human-relevant in vitro tools that can replace animal testing and monolayer cell cultures.
LabCyte product series includes EPI-MODEL, a reconstructed human epidermis model, and CORNEA-MODEL, a reconstructed human corneal epithelial model. These models support safety and efficacy assessments of cosmetics, chemicals, and drugs as human-relevant alternatives to animal testing and are also widely used in fundamental research on skin and corneal cells and tissues.
Through the development of tissue-engineered products, J-TEC is committed to advancing technologies that serve as alternatives to animal testing.
