\u201cResidual tissue from operating theatres is the future of biomedical research.\u201d<\/p>\n

The use of animal models in biomedical research is not only animal-unfriendly, but unfortunately also yields results that are difficult to translate to humans. That is why I have been dedicated for years to developing human-relevant models by using human tissues and cells in organ-on-a-chip models and organoids.<\/p>\n

However, residual tissues are often difficult to obtain. And that is why I am so pleased with VitalTissue.<\/p>\n

VitalTissue makes human residual tissue from hospitals available for scientific research. In doing so, they solve a challenging bottleneck in biomedical research. Residual tissues that would otherwise be lost now become available for innovative translational research.<\/p>\n

And that is a huge step forward. Our research is accelerated and aligns better with human biology, while the use of animal testing decreases. And all of this is thanks to smooth service delivery. VitalTissue facilitates patient consent, ensures that the requested residual tissue becomes available, and arranges the transport.<\/p>\n

I am curious about how colleagues view this. Would you like to make use of human residual tissue more often in your research?<\/p>\n

Daarom zet ik me al jaren in voor de ontwikkeling van menselijk relevante modellen, door humane weefsels en cellen te gebruiken in organ-on-a-chip modellen en organoids.\r\n\r\nRestweefsels zijn alleen vaak lastig te verkrijgen. En daarom ben ik zo blij met VitalTissue.\r\n\r\nVitalTissue stelt menselijk restweefsel uit ziekenhuizen beschikbaar voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Daarmee lossen ze een lastig knelpunt in biomedisch onderzoek op. Restweefsels die anders verloren gaan, komen nu beschikbaar voor innovatief translationeel onderzoek.\r\n\r\nEn dat is een enorme stap vooruit. Ons onderzoek wordt versneld en sluit beter aan bij de biologie van de mens, terwijl het gebruik van dierproeven afneemt. En dat alles dankzij soepele dienstverlening. VitalTissue faciliteert toestemming van de pati\u00ebnt, zorgt dat het gewenste restweefsel beschikbaar komt \u00e9n regelt het transport.\r\n\r\nIk ben benieuwd hoe collega\u2019s hiernaar kijken. Zouden jullie vaker gebruik willen maken van menselijk restweefsel in jullie onderzoek?\r\n\r\nSue Gibbs \u2013 Hooglereaar Huid- en Slijmvliesregeneratieve Geneeskunde, Amsterdam UMC en ACTA","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","et-doesnt-have-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22281"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22336,"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22281\/revisions\/22336"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vitaltissue.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
