3D Ex Vivo Human VIP-PACAP Model Introduction

Creative Biolabs has launched state-of-the-art 3D ex vivo human VIP-PACAP models to provide feasible solutions and expand infinite possibilities for your research project.

VIP-PACAP in Human

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) refer to a group of neuropeptides that play crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis in the human body. These neuropeptides are known to be involved in numerous physiological functions, including the regulation of circadian rhythms, neurotransmission, and immune response. In particular, they have been shown to exhibit potent anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.

Despite their potential therapeutic applications, the VIP and PACAP pathways remain poorly understood, and their dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including migraine, Alzheimer's disease, and inflammatory bowel disease. While a significant body of research has been conducted on VIP and PACAP, the underlying mechanisms of their effects on human physiology and disease pathogenesis remain largely unknown.

Traditional Model for VIP-PACAP Research Why Choose Creative Biolabs Ex Vivo Human VIP-PACAP Model?
Traditional studies are mostly carried out through cell in vitro models or animal models. But to date, traditional research models for studying VIP and PACAP pathways have been limited by several disadvantages, including their inability to accurately replicate the complex three-dimensional (3D) microenvironments of human tissue, their reliance on animal models, and their inability to account for the complex interplay between different cell types and signaling pathways. To address the limitations of traditional research models, we have developed a novel 3D ex vivo human VIP-PACAP model, which allows us to investigate the effects of VIP and PACAP on human tissue in a physiologically relevant manner. Our model allows for the study of human tissue samples in a 3D microenvironment, providing a more accurate representation of human physiology than traditional models with the maximum avoidance of costly late development failures.
