Sensory Organs

The main sensory organs in the body are eyes, nose, ears, tongue and skin, responsible for the sense: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, respectively. These sensory organs comprise sensory receptors and accessory structures, which work together to convert external stimuli to nerve impulses. These nerve impulses are then transmitted into brain through nervous system for processing and integration, enabling perception and response to the external environment.

In this category, we mainly focus on eye-related sensory cell models, including a broad range of retinal cells and anterior segment cell types used in vision research and ocular disease modeling. Available cell types include retinal ganglion cells, retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE cells), and vascular components such as human retinal microvascular endothelial cells, which are essential for studies of retinal function, degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Additional retinal-supporting populations include retinal astrocytes and retinal microglia.

For corneal and anterior eye research, we provide human corneal epithelial cells and human corneal endothelial cells, as well as human lens epithelial cells for studies of corneal biology, transparency, wound healing, and cataract formation. Glaucoma and aqueous humor outflow research is supported by trabecular meshwork models, including human trabecular meshwork cells. Together, these specialized ocular cell models enable advanced research in ophthalmology, sensory biology, drug development, and ocular toxicity assessment.
