In vitro cell cultures represent a widespread methodology for pathophysiology studies with a high benefit/cost ratio. We have developed and are validating TToP, a novel, versatile, and scalable culture system allowing compartmentalized cell/tissue cultures with the aim of mimicking the human pathophysiological microenvironment of tissue barriers.
