Reconstructed Tissues
Episkin, a subsidiary of L’oreal, is the world leader in tissue engineering for in vitro studies. They offer Human Reconstructed Tissues to the global scientific community – academic and industry – to support research and development activities in safety and efficacy keeping with OECD guidelines.
Benefits of Reconstructed Human Tissues:
- Enhanced Physiological Relevance: Reconstructed human tissues more closely mimic human biology compared to animal models, leading to more reliable and predictive research results.
- Improved Research Efficiency: These tissues can be readily available and standardized, allowing for faster and more consistent research processes.
- Reduced Reliance on Animal Models: Reconstructed human tissues offer an ethical alternative to animal models, aligning with evolving research practices.
Episkin’s unique cell culture process allows to industrialize important volumes of in vitro models of reconstructed human tissues with well characterized histology, functionality and ultrastructure features. The production unit has been designed to deliver every week our clients with thousands of human tissues – a process optimized and perfected by Krishgen for India over the last decade.
Based on easy-to-use and validated protocols, Episkin tissue models allow industrial corporations to screen and measure with high precision, the irritation, penetration, metabolism, or efficacy of large number of formulations or actives, to eliminate those that are unsuitable, so that the final (in vivo or clinical) tests can be carried out on a selected few.
