Human reconstructed skin models could be very useful tools to quantify percutaneous permeation and absorption. Before using such models, the reproducibility in the same batch and/or various batches, i.e. the relevance of the results obtained, must be verified. The reproducibility... Read More

The study aimed at evaluating tissue architecture and quality of the permeability barrier in commercially available reconstructed human skin models; EpiDerm™, SkinEthic™ and Episkin™ in comparison to native tissue. For this purpose, tissue architecture was examined by electron microscopy and... Read More

Until now there is no general guideline to study the penetration of foreign substances into the skin and there are several in vitro models to study topical dermatological dosage forms. Excised human skin has proven to be one of the... Read More

Physiological structures associated with iontophoretic paths in hairless mouse skin and two cultured skin models (“EpiDerm” by Mattek, Corp., and “SKIN” by Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc.) are reported. Visualization of ionic paths at current densities between 20 and 100 uA/cm2... Read More
