We developed an in vitro model that mimics the human placental barrier using co-cultures of primary trophoblasts and HUVECs.
👉 This is a powerful tool to develop safer therapies during pregnancy.

New research highlight 🔬
We present a flow-driven in vitro model of the human placental barrier.
👉 A safe, reproducible, and predictive platform to assess transplacental transport, fetal exposure, and drug safety during pregnancy.

In our latest study, we explore placental iron transport as a potential missing link in fetal programming of health and disease.

Great conference. Congratulations to @SwissIonChannel & @uniofbern
Looking to next gen of @NCCR_TransCure, when it rises majestically phoenix-like from ashes...
As #LLCoolJ might declare - don't call it a come back

That was it! The Final @NCCR_TransCure Conference @uniofbern @unibern was a fantastic event reuniting friends and colleagues studying #MembraneTransporters & #IonChannels. We are incredibly grateful to the speakers and participants. Have a safe trip back home, and see you soon!
