PRIMACYT – Fibroblasts
Our Strengths

PRIMACYT is one of the pioneers in the development of advanced in vitro model systems. We are a leading company in the field of research of human and animal hepatocytes.
In 2008, we have received the Research Prize of the German Ministry of Nutrition, Agriculture and Consumer Protection for the “Development and validation of a serum-free, standardized and re-usable human hepatocyte culture system for the analysis of food, drugs and chemicals”.
PRIMACYT is approved by the European Commission as an EU Reference Laboratory for Alternatives to Animal Testing (EURL ECVAM) since 2013 and serves as a member of the laboratory network responsible for the method validation.
Main products, liver-derived and skin-derived products, are cryopreserved at the first passage stage, and the product information below clearly states the viability, recovery rate, suitable plates for culture, and test results for 3D culture.
Human and Cynomolgus Fibroblasts
Overview
PRIMACYT offers skin cells from human and non-human primates. Dermal fibroblasts are obtained from human and Cynomolgus monkey ex vivo skin explants. These ex vivo skin explants and their cellular products serve as valuable model systems and tools for drug discovery and cosmetic development.
Literature
Dermal Fibroblasts – Cultured Human and Non-Human Primate Fibroblasts from PRIMACYT.
What are fibroblasts? Dermal fibroblasts are derived from mesenchymal stem cells. The function of fibroblasts is related to maintenance and tissue metabolism. Such fibroblasts are in activated state of metabolism. Fibroblasts provide the structural fibers and ground substance of connective tissue.
Compared to other fibroblast cell types, dermal fibroblast cells show only weak affinity to change into other cell types. Fibroblast proliferation can be stimulated by the presence of fibroblast growth factor (FGF).
Human Dermal Fibroblasts utilize their organelles to join separate cell layers. One of the fibroblast functions is the provision of the human protein molecules, including fibronectin and laminin, for the creation of the extracellular matrix (ECM).
Fibroblasts from Cynomolgus Monkey (alt. “Cynomolgus Macaque”) are fibroblasts for research purposes from primates because their dermal cells are very close to human fibroblasts.
