Recently we established that peptides derived from the Notch ligand-Jagged-1 could trigger complete epidermal differentiation using submerged living epidermal equivalents (EEs). Moreover, using a selective inhibitor designed to block Notch receptor activity, epidermal differentiation was also blocked when submerged EEs... Read More

The signaling system regulating the highly coordinated and programmed series of molecular events that generate a mature, fully differentiated and cornified epidermis is unknown. To determine if Notch ligands and receptors that regulate cell fate decisions in other organ systems... Read More

This study by researchers at the University of Leicester and Unilever’s Safety Environmental Assurance Centre (SEAC) demonstrated that MatTek’s EpiDerm human skin tissue equivalents can be kept in a viable state for up to 23 DAYS. The overall goal of... Read More

The aim of the present study was to evaluate tissue architecture and lipid composition of commercially available reconstructed human skin models; EpiDerm™, SkinEthic™ and Episkin™ in comparison to in-house reconstructed epidermis on a de-epidermized dermis (RE-DED) model and native tissue....
