Experiments in the EpiDerm 3D Skin In Vitro Model and Minipigs In Vivo Indicate Comparatively Lower In Vivo Skin Sensitivity of Topically Applied Aneugenic Compounds

Risk management of in vitro aneugens for topically applied compounds is not clearly defined because there is no validated methodology to accurately measure compound concentration in proliferating stratum basale keratinocytes of the skin. Here, we experimentally tested several known aneugens... Read More

Retrospective review on in vitro phototoxicity data generated in 3D skin models to support the development of new OECD Test Guideline

Phototoxicity (also photo-irritation), is a light-induced skin reaction that occurs when photoreactive chemicals are activated to produce cytotoxic effects. Phototoxicity testing of chemicals is mostly conducted in vitro, following the methods described in the OECD test guideline (OECD TG 432),... Read More
