Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to have deleterious effects on human skin.  UVB (280-320 nm) and UVA (320-400 nm) segments of solar radiation have been shown to affect keratinocytes, the major cellular constituent of the epidermis, by causing direct... Read More

This study by scientists at Chondrex, Inc. and the Albert Einstein School of Medicine demonstrated that MatTek’s EpiDermFT full-thickness in vitro human skin tissue equivalent can be used to assess the ability of formulations to affect the release of procollagenase,... Read More

Using MatTek’s EpiDermFT full-thickness in vitro human skin equivalent, scientists at MatTek Corp. showed that epidermal keratinocytes have a significant influence over the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP’s) by dermal fibroblasts, demonstrating why EpiDermFT is useful in investigating MMP expression...

This study by scientists at MatTek Corp. demonstrated that MatTek’s EpiDerm-FT full thickness in vitro human skin tissue equivalent is an excellent in vitro model for studying the dermal-epidermal wound-healing interactions produced by physical wounding of these tissues. Background: Dermal... Read More
