Our CEO Lowry Curley, PhD, had the honor of being quoted in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology New’s July cover story. The article, written by Priya Kalia, PhD, focuses on expanding boundaries of in vitro testing with […]

January 12, 2021 AxoSim’s Research Scientist Wesley Anderson published a review paper with Springer Nature’s In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology – Animal on advances in 3D neuronal microphysiological systems, the technology that powers AxoSim’s […]

December 10, 2020 We present a nontraditional fabrication technique for the realization of three-dimensional (3D) microelectrode arrays (MEAs) capable of interfacing with 3D cellular networks in vitro. The technology uses cost-effective makerspace microfabrication techniques to fabricate the 3D […]

February 21. 2020 Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are frequently used to treat depression during pregnancy. Various concerns have been raised about the possible effects of these drugs on fetal development. Current developmental neurotoxicity (DNT) […]

July 15, 2020 Organ-on-a-chip devices that mimic in vivo physiology have the potential to identify effects of chemical and drug exposure in early preclinical stages of drug development while relying less heavily on animal models. We designed […]

September 1, 2018 Growing concern suggests that some chemicals exert (developmental) neurotoxicity (DNT and NT) and are linked to the increase in incidence of autism, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders. The high cost of routine […]

March 27, 2015 The use of advanced in vitro testing is a powerful tool to develop predictive cellular assays suitable for improving the high attrition rates of novel pharmaceutical compounds. A microscale, organotypic model of […]

July 16, 2018 Human in vitro models of brain neurophysiology are needed to investigate molecular and cellular mechanisms associated with neurological disorders and neurotoxicity. We have developed a reproducible iPSC-derived human 3D brain microphysiological system […]

June 20, 2019 Development of “organ-on-a-chip” systems for neuroscience applications are lagging due in part to the structural complexity of the nervous system and limited access of human neuronal & glial cells. In addition, rates […]
