REGULATION OF ANGIOGENESIS FACTORS BY ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION OR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IN THE EPIDERM IN VITRO SKIN EQUIVALENT.
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) released by epidermis in response to environmental stimuli modulate new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), a critical step in skin tumor progression and metastasis. Placenta growth factor (PlGF), a related angiogenic member of the VEGF family,... Read More

Evaluation of Cutaneous Damage and Repair Following Acute Solar Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure: Experiments with an In Vitro Reconstructed Human Skin Model and Excised Human Skin
Overexposure of human skin to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is known to produce deleterious effects including cutaneous photoaging and cancers. The present studies were conducted to confirm the utility of a commercially available full-thickness reconstructed human skin model (EpiDermFT) for... Read More
