Evaluation of Cutaneous Damage and Repair Following Acute Solar Ultraviolet Radiation Exposure: Experiments with an In Vitro Reconstructed Human Skin Model and Excised Human Skin
Overexposure of human skin to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is known to produce deleterious effects including cutaneous photoaging and cancers. The present studies were conducted to confirm the utility of a commercially available full-thickness reconstructed human skin model (EpiDermFT) for... Read More

NFAT REGULATES INDUCTION OF COX-2 AND APOPTOSIS OF KERATINOCYTES IN RESPONSE TO ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION EXPOSURE.
This study by researchers at Newcastle Univesity and the Royal Victoria Infirmary demonstrated that MatTek’s EpiDermFT full-thickness in vitro human skin tissue equivalent is an excellent in vitro model to investigate the wavelengths of UV radiation that activate specific skin... Read More

WOUND HEALING AND EXPRESSION OF ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES/ POLYPEPTIDES IN HUMAN KERATINOCYTES, A CONSEQUENCE OF COMMON GROWTH FACTORS.
In addition to acting as a physical barrier against microorganisms, the skin produces antimicrobial peptides and proteins. After wounding, growth factors are produced to stimulate the regeneration of tissue. The growth factor response ceases after regeneration of the tissue, when... Read More

DNA photoprotection conveyed by sunscreen
Introduction:Â Skin photoaging is the consequence of solar UV exposure, and DNA damage is an important part of this process. The objective of the current work was to demonstrate that in vitro skin models can be utilized to confirm that... Read More
