TenSkin™– its role in reducing animal testing in skin research.
TenSkinᵀᴹ – its role in reducing animal testing in skin research. Generate more predictive preclinical data without animal testing.

Mechanical tension influences the immunocompetency of ex vivo skin tissue
Human-relevant testing methods using donated skin tissue offer a promising alternative to animal models. Our ex vivo culture system restores physiological tension in skin, preserving structure, function, and immune cells like Langerhans cells, enabling immune activation studies for up to seven days.

A tensioned human skin explant model used for preliminary assessment of chemexfoliant-stimulated bioeffects
Our latest study, using the TenSkinᵀᴹ model, demonstrates how our ex vivo platform is delivering biologically relevant insights into the effects of chemexfoliation (chemical peel) treatments on human skin.

Ten Bio shortlisted for The Courier Business Awards
We are proud to be announced as finalist in The Courier Business Awards in the Innovation and Technology category.

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.
