Unlocking Mother Nature’s Building Blocks

Just as the foundation of water is hydrogen and oxygen, the foundation of plants and trees are cellulose and lignin. These universal materials act as Mother Nature’s building blocks and have proven critical to botanical viability, enabling growth and protecting... Read More

Development of a Model for Assessment of Blue Light Activated Toxicity in EpiGingival™ and EpiGingival™-FT Tissues

Traditional phototoxicity models examine activation of test material by ultraviolet A (UVA) light. In these models, the ability of a test chemical to induce toxicity in cells or tissues after light exposure is compared to non-light exposed tissues. While UV-induced... Read More

Vibrational spectroscopy and microscopic imaging: novel approaches for comparing barrier physical properties in native and human skin equivalents

Vibrational spectroscopy and imaging have been used to compare barrier properties in human skin, porcine skin, and two human skin equivalents, Epiderm 200X with an enhanced barrier and Epiderm 200 with a normal barrier. Three structural characterizations were performed. First,... Read More

Antimelanogenic Efficacy of Melasolv (3,4,5-Trimethoxycinnamate Thymol Ester) in Melanocytes and Three-Dimensional Human Skin Equivalent

Background/Aims: Excessive melanogenesis often causes unaesthetic hyperpigmentation. In a previous report, our group introduced a newly synthesized depigmentary agent, Melasolv TM (3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate thymol ester). In this study, we demonstrated the significant whitening efficacy of Melasolv using various melanocytes and human... Read More

Propionibacterium acnes-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Promote Acne-Like Phenotypes in Human Epidermis

Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory disease occurring in the pilosebaceous unit and is the most common skin condition in young people. A gram-positive bacterium, Propionibacterium acnes, has been suspected to contribute to the development of acne. Here, we report that... Read More
