Innovation for StratiCell, a subsidiary of PAT

StratiCELL, a Belgian subsidiary of PAT (Plant Advanced Technologies) specialized in objectification tests in vitrohas just launched an innervated reconstructed epidermis project, combining its skills with those of Neuron Experts (Marseille, FR) and Neuroservice (Aix-en-Provence, FR).
Once perfected, this new objectification model in vitro of active ingredients including human sensory neurons will be marketed as part of a range of services focusing on sensations of well-being and soothing of the skin, pain and pruritus.
This model is part of the "IMPROVE" project, which aims to design and develop in vitro 3D skin models of increasing complexity, dedicated to the evaluation of cosmetic, neuro-sensory and dermo-pharmaceutical products.
The Walloon region (Belgium) will part-finance this R&D project to the tune of 760,000 euros over 3 years - an amount which will significantly boost its R&D and innovation capacities. Eventually, these innovative reconstructed skin models will be integrated into StratiCELL's service activity, with a considerable expected impact on the sales of this PAT subsidiary..
