CTIBiotech - Dermatocosmetics / Skin

These include:

• skin related drugs
• macro cosmetics production
• components testing
• comparison of different ages of skin
• assessment of skin layers
• test of skin from different areas of the human body
• ultraviolet and wavelength effects
• babyskin models
• skin material analysis

Production of skin-related cells and models for drug and cosmetics testing:

• We produce from primary skin biopsies, specific models in the micro and macro scales to test components.
• We also produce individual cell lines upon demand to specification.

Age-related analyses:

We have in our biobank and through our core partners access to skin samples from age 0 through to 95 years old.

Production of 3-dimensional skin constructs:

CTIBIOTECH is able to create:

• totally artificial layered skin-derived cell models
• integrated primary-biopsy skin with specified cells and components
• These have been used already with our partners to model wound-healing, skin-toxicology, ageing, and reversal of scar formation.

Harmonized neural-skin interface assays:
CTIBIOTECH has created tests to specifically analyse the neural-skin interface to model the effects of wound, burns, loss of feeling, reduction and regrowth of neural cells.

Production of Sebocyte and gland models:
CTIBIOTECH is rare in being able to create and grow human sebocyte models.

Hair models: In 2015 CTIBIOTECH successfully expanded it’s skin range to hair models.  From individual follicles to bed-growth with complete bulb and glands.
