The importance of using a diverse range of skin in aesthetic dermatology testing
The Ten Bio team explore why incorporating all Fitzpatrick types in aesthetic dermatology testing is not just a best practice – it is a scientific imperative.

Preliminary assessment of microneedle wound healing in a full-thickness ex vivo human skin model cultured at physiological tension
This study evaluated skin recovery using the TenSkin™ model after microneedle application (dissolvable and non-dissolving types). Histological and immunofluorescence analyses tracked wound healing, comparing results with laser ablation.

The effect of mechanical tension on bolus morphology and integration following intradermal injection in an ex vivo human skin model
Intradermal injection studies benefit from ex vivo human skin models, but traditional relaxed-state models lack physiological tension, impacting tissue integrity and fiber alignment. The TenSkin™ model addresses this, offering more accurate dermal responses and improved integration of hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
