RESEARCH PLATFORM
FOR DERMO-COSMETIC TESTING

UNIQUE REAL HUMAN TISSUE MODELS

Our platform uses real ex vivo tissue models derived from human donor fat to support dermo-cosmetic, nutraceutical and aesthetic medicine research with innovative claims validation testing.

Real 3D Ex vivo Tissue models
for first-in-human data generation

DARK CIRCLES,
PUFFY EYES, UNDER-EYE SAGGING
ExAdEx vascularized 3D adult organoid models obtained from freshly isolated subcutaneous adipose tissue allow to support claims related to vasoconstriction, vasodilation, stimulation of lymphatic network and drainage
ANTI-AGING, SKIN HEALTH,
TISSUE REGENERATION
ExAdEx donor-derived 3D inflammatory and fibrotic tissue models mimic complex skin interactions, allowing for claim substantiation of tissue remodeling, anti-stress, regenerative and anti-aging products
FAT BURNING,
METABOLIC ACTIVITY
ExAdEx 3D real fat tissue models are the only clinically relevant ex vivo models with physiological fat burning and browning capacity, supporting claims targeting weight management, cellulite and metabolic well-being
ExAdEx physio-pathological 3D vascularized and functional models are a relevant alternative to animal testing and provide an original approach for the repositioning of dermo-cosmetics, nutraceutical products and aesthetic regenerative medicine products through evaluation of multiple claims at once, all in single multi-parametric studies.
ExAdEx 3D tissue models are directly derived from human donor subcutaneous adipose tissue, allowing for first-in-human data generation. Thanks to the ExAdEx patented breakthrough technology, our 3D models are alive for up to 8 weeks in tailored unique culture conditions, can reproduce inflammatory and fibrotic stress and preserve the donor's extracellular matrix, vascular and lymphatic networks.
Our cutting-edge ExAdEx platform offers unparalleled insights into tissue-level effects using state-of-the-art 3D imaging and analysis techniques, combining innovative technologies to mimic in vivo conditions and uncover critical biological data. ExAdEx technological platform has a strong and deep connection with French academic research of excellence (CNRS, INSERM, Université Côte d’Azur/IdEx) with decades of expertise in generation of relevant tissue models.

The real proxy for human adipose tissue

  • The first micro-physiological and fully competent 3D adult fat tissue models
  • Suitable for dermo-cosmetic, nutraceutical and injectable products testing
  • Directly derived from donors for maximal human data relevance
  • Preserving native structure, microenvironment and biological responses thanks to a patented innovation
  • Generating first-in-human data in the lab
  • Long term viable in 3D culture conditions for assessment of structural long term effects
