Four publications related to these scientific advances in the field of skin have just been accepted in impact factor journals, including:
- A research partnership with the University of California San Diego has highlighted an unknown influence of Cutibacterium acnes on the lipid composition of the epidermis. This commensal microbial strain induces an increase in lipids essential for the establishment of the barrier function, per the company.
- Work carried out with the Collège de France and the Institut de génomique fonctionnelle de Lyon made it possible to develop an in vitro skin model from cell sheets. Analysis of gene expression profiles and characterization of the extracellular matrix produced revealed angiogenic properties specific to papillary and reticular fibroblasts, per the company.
- In partnership with University of Laval Québec, a cell extraction technique was developed to isolate resident skin cells from the same human donor while preserving immune and endothelial cells. This approach allowed the reconstruction of an autologous, vascularized, and immunocompetent skin model, per the company.
- A research partnership with the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne has enabled the characterization of the hygroscopic potential of apiogalacturonans. In silico investigation by molecular modeling highlighted a significant hygroscopic potential, per the company.
