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.
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.

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.
