Joanneum Research - Human Skin Models for Inflammatory Response Research

Our human ex-vivo skin models are made from human skin samples and allow us researchers to study the physiological properties and functions of human skin in more detail. These models include different skin layers such as epidermis, dermis and subcutis and provide a fully intact three-dimensional skin architecture. Our models offer a variety of advantages: They enable the study of skin toxicity, drug penetration, inflammatory responses and more in an ex-vivo environment. This enables us to generate precise and meaningful data, which is of crucial importance in the development of new treatments and drugs. They also allow us, for example, to test substances and materials without animal testing.
