Wounding response and wound healing in a novel tension-based skin explant model
This study highlights a tensioned ex vivo skin model that maintains viability and replicates in vivo wound healing. Improved keratin expression and 3D visualization confirm its value for studying biomarkers and testing therapies.

A tension-based skin explant model
This study introduces a tensioned ex vivo skin model that maintains viability, structural integrity, and physiological complexity. Unlike traditional models, it replicates in vivo responses, supports toxicity studies, and shows promise for dermatology research and drug discovery, reducing reliance on 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.

TenSkin™ – the number one choice for skin research
Professor Giuseppe Valacchi has a global reputation for his work in expanding the understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms that define the physio-pathological responses of skin tissue. In this interview, Professor Valacchi describes why TenSkinTM is his first choice for skin research and why he is pleased to lead Ten Bio’s Scientific Advisory Board . .

Comparative wound healing in cultured tissues vs ex-vivo tissues
This study compared a 3D cultured skin model with Ten Bio’s tensioned ex vivo TenSkin model for battlefield wound simulation. Results showed TenSkin more closely replicates healing seen in trauma patients, making it a superior platform for injury research.
