Why do so many gene therapies fail in clinical trials? A closer look at the preclinical gap—and how TenSkin™ is helping close it.

Beyond animal models: The future of skin testing is human-relevant and ready
As regulatory momentum builds and new human-relevant technologies emerge, the conversation is shifting. The question is no longer if we can replace animal testing in skin research — but how fast. This article explores why models like TenSkin™ offer a scalable, scientifically robust alternative that’s already reshaping preclinical research.

Setting the standard: How TenSkin is shaping regulatory change in skin testing
As regulators move away from animal testing, clear validation frameworks are needed to support alternatives. Explant models like TenSkin™ offer a human-relevant solution for preclinical skin research, improving predictability and reproducibility.

Pollution protection
Urban pollution drives demand for advanced skincare. Ten Bio’s TenSkin™ offers a next generation ex vivo model to test anti-pollution products, providing crucial insights that accelerate the development of scientifically validated, high-impact solutions.
