Bring me sunshine!
Exploring the effects of sun exposure using explant skin. Enjoyment of sunshine is a quintessential aspect of the human experience. Exposure provides a myriad of
Tension as a key factor in skin responses to pollution
This study explores how physiological tension affects skin responses to ozone pollution using the TenSkin™ model. Findings reveal tension modulates the expression of antimicrobial peptides and markers of oxidative stress and inflammation, highlighting its importance in skin health studies.
Advances and Opportunities in (Pre)Clinical Testing for Cosmetics and Personal Care
We are pleased to share this Global Perspectives Column in EURO COSMETICS Mag written by Deanna Utroske. Ten Bio emphasises scientific discipline and rigour in all of our
Scientific Conferences R Ten Bio
Since Ten Bio launched in the autumn of 2020 our attendance at conferences, symposia etc. has been the central plank to our market engagement strategy.
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.
TenSkin™ – The perfect platform for microneedle applications.
Dr Paul Campbell gives his perspective on potential research avenues with TenSkin™. ‘Having worked directly with the company whilst on secondment over the past year,
Ten Bio is in Japan!
Ten Bio 社は日本にあります. In May this year, Ten Bio will attend the global session of the International Societies for Investigative Dermatology (ISID) to be held
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.
Converge Challenge prize for Ten Bio
Dr Hickerson was last night named runner-up in the Converge Challenge category of Converge 2020, receiving £29,000 in cash and in-kind business support. Converge is
Ten Bio launched from University of Dundee
Ten Bio launched from University of Dundee Researchers from the University of Dundee are looking to transform pharmaceutical and cosmetics testing with their spinout venture
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.
