A feasibility study performed by a consortium of hospitals, research- and educational institutions, companies, and interest groups, financially supported by the Dutch government, has shown that the VitalTissue initiative is organizationally, ethically and financially feasible when incorporated in a professional organisation. Multi Tissue Center ETB-BISLIFE has been found willing to implement VitalTissue in its organisation.<\/p>\n<p>ETB-BISLIFE receives, processes, stores and distributes donated human tissues to hospitals for the treatment of patients. VitalTissue utilizes the knowledge of tissues and logistics and the network of hospitals ETB-BISLIFE is collaborating with to realize this initiative and give it a solid basis.<\/p>\n<p>Under the wings of the professional organisation ETB-BISLIFE and with the support of a startup grant by ZonMw and Stichting Proefdiervrij, we aim to successfully implement VitalTissue as a new division in ETB-BISLIFE within 3-5 years and become the infrastructure for the use of vital human residual tissue in scientific research in The Netherlands. We operate with integrity in a transparent, independent and reliable way. This way VitalTissue contributes to the improved and accelerated transition of new biomedical innovations to patients and the transition to experimental animal-free innovations.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#caaac1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;80px||80px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;GEO LIVE|500|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;80px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1300px&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;55px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>\u201c<b>Human residual tissue becomes a valuable source in scientific research<\/b>\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px|25px|50px|25px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b0963c82-ba7e-48ec-92af-2d0fc49c99ec&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#43004f&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;GEO LIVE|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#43004F&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#43004F&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>De pati\u00ebnt als restweefseldonor<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;GEO LIVE|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]VitalTissue heeft als doel restweefsels die overblijven na een operatie beschikbaar te stellen voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek om de gezondheid van de Nederlandse bevolking te bevorderen.

Ook is er veel aandacht voor de werking van middelen in voeding en in huishoudelijke producten die bijdragen aan gezondheid of deze juist kunnen aantasten. Bij deze onderzoeken worden nog vaak dierproeven gebruikt, omdat directe testen op mensen niet mogelijk zijn en alternatieven beperkt beschikbaar zijn. Dierproeven zijn belastend voor dieren en maatschappelijk onwenselijk. Bovendien moeten resultaten worden vertaald naar de mens, wat complex en onbetrouwbaar is.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;NL versie&#8221; module_class=&#8221;verberg-op-nl&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;\/* Verbergen op Engels (Secties, rijen en elementen)||||.verberg-op-engels {||    display: none!important;||}||.translatepress-nl_NL .verberg-op-engels {||    display: block !important;||}||*\/&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px|25px|50px|25px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b0963c82-ba7e-48ec-92af-2d0fc49c99ec&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#43004f&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;GEO LIVE|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#43004F&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#43004F&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>VitalTissue accelerates medical research<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;GEO LIVE|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]Een alternatief voor dierproeven is het gebruik van overgebleven menselijk restweefsel uit operaties. Dit weefsel wordt vaak vernietigd, terwijl onderzoekers het goed kunnen gebruiken. Uit vrijwel elk orgaan of lichaamsdeel dat geopereerd wordt, kan restweefsel verkregen worden. Door dit weefsel beschikbaar te stellen kunnen onderzoekers biologische processen in de mens beter in kaart brengen en kunnen medicijnen sneller en effectiever worden ontwikkeld. Daarnaast wordt bijgedragen aan de transitie naar proefdiervrije innovatie. Vanuit deze gedachte is het VitalTissue-initiatief ontstaan om vitaal menselijk restweefsel uit ziekenhuizen toegankelijk te maken voor alle onderzoekers in Nederland.<\/p>\n<p>Een mooi voorbeeld waarbij restweefsel beschikbaar komt is een darmoperatie, waarbij een tumor wordt verwijderd. Niet al het uitgenomen darmweefsel is nodig voor diagnostiek of follow-up onderzoek en wordt daarom weggegooid. Dat is zonde, omdat dit menselijke restweefsel grote kansen biedt voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek. VitalTissue kan er voor zorgen dat dit stukje darm zo snel mogelijk naar een laboratorium wordt gebracht voor onderzoek naar het functioneren van menselijk darmweefsel of de ontwikkeling van nieuwe medicijnen.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vital.shockmedia.meerinternetsucces.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/ipad-VitalTissue.png&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;350px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vital.shockmedia.meerinternetsucces.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Swoosh-boven-foto.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Swoosh boven foto&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; transform_translate_linked=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;38vh||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||32px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Engelse versie&#8221; module_class=&#8221;verberg-op-engels&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;\/* Verbergen op Nederlands (Secties, rijen en elementen) ||.verberg-op-nl {||    display: none !important;||}||html.translatepress-en_US .verberg-op-nl {||    display: block !important;||}||*\/&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;50px|25px|50px|25px|true|true&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;b0963c82-ba7e-48ec-92af-2d0fc49c99ec&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#43004f&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;GEO LIVE|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#43004F&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#43004F&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>VitalTissue accelerates medical research<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;GEO LIVE|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;|||50px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Human residual tissues from medical procedures can be used as an alternative for animal testing. However, these residual tissues are normally destroyed, thereby preventing researchers to use it as a valuable source for scientific research. Human residual tissue can be obtained from virtually every organ or body part. The availability of human residual tissues enables researchers to investigate biological processes in humans more efficiently, thereby improving and accelerating the development of medicines and accelerating the transition to animal free innovations. From this perspective the VitalTissue initiative arose to make human vital residual tissue from hospitals available for all scientist in The Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good example of a medical procedure that liberates human residual tissue is a tumor resection by intestinal surgery. Not all removed tissue is needed for diagnostics and\/or follow-up research. The surrounding healthy tissue is usually destroyed. That is a pity, because this human residual tissue offers great opportunities for scientific research. VitalTissue ensures that this piece of donated human intestine is quickly transported to the laboratory for investigating the function of human intestinal tissue or the development of new medicines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kopie-van-engelse-versie.jpg&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; height=&#8221;350px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.vital.shockmedia.meerinternetsucces.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Swoosh-boven-foto.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Swoosh boven foto&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; transform_translate_linked=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;38vh||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||32px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samen voor betere zorg en minder dierproeven Samen voor betere zorg en minder dierproeven VitalTissue is in 2024 is gestart als nieuwe afdeling van de non-profit organisatie Stichting ETB-BISLIFE.
