NOVUSTEX • NASALCART™ LIVE INTERACTIVE SIMULATION

See the tissue.
Trace the dose.
Resolve the route.

An immersive, stage-gated product vision for a human nasal-interface platform that evolves from a multicompartment tissue construct into a route-resolved nose-to-brain microphysiological system.

Platform thesis
NasalCart is designed to become the experimental layer between intranasal delivery and target-tissue exposure.
North star: one modular system that can distinguish local retention, olfactory/perineural transport, systemic uptake and BBB-mediated exposure.

Conceptual feature comparison only. “Conventional epithelial model” and “animal study” represent broad model classes, not specific commercial products.

Conventional epithelial model

✓ epithelial barrier
✓ mucus/cilia possible
◐ limited structural depth
— cartilage mechanics
— direct neural route
— route-resolved BBB

Ex vivo nasal tissue

✓ native architecture
◐ donor variability
◐ limited standardization
◐ finite viability window
— modular route control
— engineered BBB coupling

Animal intranasal study

✓ whole-organism distribution
◐ species-specific anatomy
◐ lower mechanistic isolation
✓ systemic routes present
◐ difficult route attribution
— human-specific modularity

NasalCart platform vision

✓ multicompartment human tissue
✓ mucociliary maturation
✓ device/deposition coupling
✓ cartilage mechanics
✓ olfactory/neural modules
✓ future vascular + BBB route resolution
Compounding platform roadmap

Six compounding capability layers—from manufacturable tissue to route-resolved human nasal-interface infrastructure.
