The importance of the neuro‐immuno‐cutaneous system on human skin equivalent design
The skin is a highly complex, sensory organ composed of three main layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis, and numerous cell types which interact to make up the neuro‐immuno‐cutaneous (NIC) system. The skin is a sensory organ, responding to various stimuli through orchestrated cellular and molecular signals.

Tempol Ameliorates Psoriatic Skin Inflammation: Evidence of TLR4/NF‐κB/Nrf2 Axis Modulation
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation, immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, and impaired epidermal barrier function. In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of Tempol, a membrane‐permeable nitroxide with antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties, using several ...

ABSTRACT Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory disease characterised by skin redness and swelling, oozing of fluid or pus and pain, caused by direct skin contact with an irritant or allergen. Its prevalence has skyrocketed worldwide, probably because human skin is in daily contact with an increasing gamut of irritants and allergens, which should ...

Guidance on the use of read‐across for chemical safety assessment in food and feed
Abstract Read‐across is a method used in chemical risk assessment to predict the toxicological properties of a target substance by using data from structurally and mechanistically similar substances, known as source substances. EFSA's Scientific Committee has developed an approach for using read‐across in food and feed risk assessment.

Vascularized 3D Human Skin Models in the Forefront of Dermatological Research
Vascularized human skin models are an emerging alternate platform for drug testing. The need for incorporation of blood vessels within in vitro models emerges from the fact that skin diseases and the ensuing therapy influence vessel morphology, functionality, and growth.

Abstract The HUMIMIC skin‐liver Chip2 microphysiological systems model using the epidermal model, EpiDerm™, was reported previously to mimic application route‐dependent metabolism of the hair dye, 4‐amino‐2‐hydroxytoluene (AHT). Therefore, we evaluated the use of alternative skin models—SkinEthic™, EpiDermFT™ and PhenionFT™—for the same purpose.

The development of technologies for the generation and transplantation of living skin equivalents (LSEs) is a significant area of translational medicine. Such functional equivalents can be used to model and study the morphogenesis of the skin and its derivatives, to test drugs, and to improve the healing of chronic wounds, burns, and other skin ...
