Cell&Soft

Cell&Soft is a French deeptech biotech company developing, manufacturing, and marketing soft, mechano-mimetic cell culture substrates for in vitro research and drug discovery. Its products are hydrogel-based culture plates designed to mimic the mechanical properties of human tissues more closely than conventional plastic plates, with the goal of improving the physiological relevance and predictive value of cell-based assays. The company’s product family includes MecaChips, µpattern MecaChips, and MecaTract platforms used in oncology, stem cell research, neurology, cardiology, and respiratory biology. Cell&Soft appears to operate primarily as a commercial research-tools and platform company rather than a therapeutic drug developer, serving academic labs and biopharma customers with standard and custom products.
