Dr Gerwin Puppels - Comparing cultured skin, ex vivo skin, and in vivo skin by near-infrared confocal Raman spectroscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a tool for nanoscale analysis-based approach allowing to obtain mechanical information about structures

Among skin models, reconstructed human epidermis are largely used in cosmetic domain either to evaluate compounds activity or for regulatory tests such as toxicity. They represent a good alternative

Studying skin composition and interaction with topical substances is important both in dermatology and cosmetoscience. Several techniques are utilized and are under development for these purposes.

Following skin injury, damaged tissue undergoes highly coordinated biological events to restore barrier function involving cross-talk between dermal fibroblasts and epidermal keratinocytes as well as

Emulsifiers are widely used in face washes, shower gels, body lotions and many more cosmetic and pharmaceutic products. Some of them are suspected to show irritating effects and to harm the skin

Mast cells (MCs) and macrophages (ΜΦs) are important multifunctional immune cells found in all tissues of the body. In the skin, resting and activated MC populations and M1- and M2-polarized ΜΦs are

Dermal drug delivery is an attractive alternative to conventional drug administration due to its advantages.

Optical-ultrasound imaging is a cost-effective method of simultaneously imaging the skin surface and the region under the surface.

Catalase is one of the most important antioxidative enzymes. Its main function is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide belonging to the group of reactive oxygen species.

Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is an optical technique based on a combination of confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography, allowing three-dimensional (3D)

Line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) is a non-invasive optical technique for imaging the skin at high resolution (∼ 1 μm), based on a combination of OCT and reflectance confocal

Modern topical sunscreens combine topical antioxidants with physical UV filters to achieve optimal skin protection1–3. α-Tocopherol phosphate (α-TP), a new pro-vitamin E antioxidant, prevents UVA1
