TOPICAL N-ACETYL GLUCOSAMINE AND NIACINAMIDE INCREASE HYALURONAN IN VITRO.

This study by researchers at Procter & Gamble Co. demonstrated how MatTek’s EpiDermFT full-thickness in vitro human skin tissue equivalent can be used to study the expression of a major extracellular matrix component of human skin (hyaluronan) when N-acetyl glucosamine... Read More

EVALUATION OF COSMETIC INGREDIENTS IN TISSUE ENGINEERED HUMAN SKIN IN VITRO.

This study by scientists at Procter & Gamble demonstrated that MatTek’s MelanoDerm and EpiDermFT in vitro human skin equivalent tissues are useful tools in understanding how compounds used in anti-aging cosmetic products (“cosmeceuticals”) like N-acetyl glucosamine and niacinamide affect production...

AccelaFuze™ PEPTIDE INFUSION THERAPY.

This study by scientists at Woodford Medical Aesthetics demonstrated that MatTek’s EpiDermFT full-thickness in vitro 3-D human skin tissue equivalent, because it is produced from normal (non-transformed) human skin cells (keratinocytes and fibroblasts), can be used to accurately measure the...

ENCAPSULATED RETINOL (0.5%) AND RETINOIC ACID (0.05%) ARE EQUALLY EFFECTIVE AT PROTECTING AGAINST UV-INDUCED DAMAGE IN EPIDERM-FT TISSUES.

Solar ultraviolet light damages skin resulting in photoaging which superimposed on chronological aging resulting in worsening of skin appearance. The extent of sun damage is proportional to the amount/time of UV-light exposure triggering visible changes such as dryness, rough texture,... Read More

CHARACTERIZATION AND EVALUATION OF CD34+ GENERATED LANGERHANS CELLS FOR TISSUE ENGINEERING.

Specialized antigen-presenting cells (APC), particularly Langerhans cells (LC) residing in the skin, mucosa, and lymphoid tissues play a key role in sensitization and other immunological reactions of the body. However, difficulty in harvesting, short survival time in culture, and variability... Read More
