Response to pollution
Detailed response to pollution studies
TenSkin™ is the ideal model to study the effects of pollutants in human skin due to the optimal tension at which it is cultured. Our assays can provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of pollution-induced skin damage and help with the development and validation of protective measures. TenSkin™ outperforms traditional ex vivo models as it preserves the skin’s mechanobiology, maintaining normal homeostasis, this providing a reliable testing platform capable of generating the data required to support pollution protectant claims.
Whether you are evaluating antioxidants, barrier enhancers, anti-inflammatory agents, detoxifying agents, UV protection, or a combination to mitigate the harmful effects of pollutants – the Ten Bio team will work closely with your team to help generate the most market- and clinically-relevant data.
