Millipore - Epithelial Cell Research, Epithelial cell culture media and CELLn

Epithelial Cell Research

The successful, reliable culture of epithelial cells is a critical element in many areas of dermatology, skin disorders, and cancer research. The breakdown of control mechanisms in the epithelial cells of any given tissue is a cause for many cancers, so furthering our knowledge of epithelial cell biology is important for understanding cancer progression and metastasis.

Millipore offers a comprehensive range of media, cell systems, and reagents for 2D and 3D epithelial cell culture, including the revolutionary CELLnTEC line of epithelial progenitor cell targeted (PCT) systems. These media significantly improve isolation and growth of multiple types of epithelia, and are available in serum-free and feeder-free options for epithelial progenitor cell culture. Over 40 media formats are carefully optimized for multiple epithelia cell types, species, and applications to suit your needs perfectly. Also available are primary human epithelial cells and long-term animal epithelial cell cultures for high performance, reliable culture of multiple epithelial cell types.

The exclusive 3D Epidermal Keratinocyte Medium allows generation of 3D human skin models which contain multiple epithelial layers, providing the most accurate in vitro representation of complex biological processes.

General Cell Culture

Primary Human Epithelial Cells

CELLnTEC Monolayer Human Epithelial Cells provide a convenient source of progenitor cell populations. They have been fully characterized and found to retain their stability and ability for differentiation. Each cell system includes cells and appropriate media.

3D Epidermal Keratinocyte Medium

Create your own in vivo-like epidermal models! Millipore's revolutionary new CELLnTEC Epidermal Keratinocyte 3D Medium helps generate accurate human epidermal models that contain multiple epithelial layers (stratum corneum, granulosum, spinosum, and basale). It encourages cellular differentiation, but also maintains proliferative cells in the basal layer.
