Macrophage-Fibroblast Interaction Analysis Service

Macrophages and fibroblasts have a direct communication system that influences the tissue microenvironment and can impact disease outcomes. This communication acts as a symbiotic relationship between the two cell types, relying on a two-cell circuit that allows for reciprocal interactions and sustenance within tissues. However, in certain cases of tumor development (i.e. colorectal cancer), the interplay between macrophages and fibroblasts can accelerate the progression of the tumor, leading to poorer prognosis for patients. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehensively analyze the interaction between macrophages and fibroblasts. Based on our macrophage therapeutic development platforms, Creative Biolabs delivers an integrated macrophage-fibroblast interaction analysis service to help global customers rapidly and reproducibly achieve challenging projects.
