Check Out Our 3D Human Skin Tissue Model

In vivo Like Model for Studying Skin Diseases/Irritants

I am pleased to announce this new addition to our Cell Based Assay offerings.

3D Human Skin Tissue Model

Cross section of Human Skin Model

The model includes precultured tissue in our engineered and tissue/cell specific Collagel-Hydrogels.

Our 3D human skin model is manufactured in a GMP lab. The model is engineered from multilayered, differentiated epidermal cells. The tissue is provided cultured in inserts using serum free media. The model mimics human skin. It provides an in vivo like environment for studying dermal related diseases and cancers. It is also excellent for skin toxicology and irritancy assays.

TRPV1 with a Twist

Kudos to Dr. Marna Erickson and her team at the University of Minnesota. They recently published excellent work demonstrating a relationship between TRPV1 -EGFR signaling and skin cancer.

Ann M. Bode, Yong-Yeon Cho, Duo Zheng, Feng Zhu, Marna E. Ericson, Wei-Ya Ma, Ke Yao, and Zigang Dong. Transient Receptor Potential Type Vanilloid 1 Suppresses Skin Carcinogenesis.Cancer Res., Feb 2009; 69: 905 - 913.

"TRPV1 interacts with EGFR, leading to EGFR degradation. Notably, the absence of TRPV1 in mice results in a striking increase in skin carcinogenesis. The TRPV1 is the first membrane receptor shown to have a tumor-suppressing effect associated with the down-regulation of another membrane receptor."

...dorsal skin samples (100 mum) were processed and immunostained. For the human skin cancer tissue array, we used anti- TRPV1 -(Neuromics), anti-EGFR (Cell Signaling), and Alexa Fluor 488 and 647-conjugated secondary antibodies. Mouse skin samples were immunostained...
