The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to
Achieve Results (STAR) program, is seeking applications for research centers to
investigate toxic effects of chemical substances in three-dimensional (3D) in
vitro models, hereafter referred to as ‘organotypic culture models’ (OCMs).
OCMs are tissue culture models that mimic in vivotissue architecture through
interactions of heterotypic cell types (e.g., epithelium-stroma) and
extracellular matrices (ECM). They can be established from isolated cells or
from tissue fragments harvested in vivo, and will bridge the gap between
conventional monolayer cell cultures and whole-animal systems.
