Protective effects of a comprehensive topical antioxidant against ozone‑induced damage in a reconstructed human skin model

Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a source of oxidative stress. This study examined the ability of a topical antioxidant (WEL-DS) to inhibit O3-mediated damage in a human epidermal skin model. Four groups of tissues (N = 24) were compared: Group 1... Read More

Investigating the sonophoresis effect on the permeation of diclofenac sodium using 3D skin equivalent

Ultrasound temporally increases skin permeability by altering stratum corneum SC function (sonophoresis). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of variable ultrasound conditions on the permeation of diclofenac sodium DS with range of physicochemical properties through EpiDerm™....
