Using connected tools, Gattefoss\u00e9 and CTIBiotech have used bioimpedance to assess changes in the local environment of a 3D skin model incorporating sebocytes. Measuring such non-invasive electrical activity enabled real-time monitoring of sebum production, alongside laboratory analyses of the model's cellular, matrix and tissue development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bio-impedance has long been used in our bathroom scales and by dieticians to understand overall body composition. Applying this technique to the skin is an obvious step forward, but the real innovation lies in the development of real-time analysis of sebum changes. We have perfected our 3D-printed full-skin models with an integrated bio-impedance chip connected to monitor changes. By linking cosmetics screening in this way, we're making faster progress towards human testing and increasing our ability to make more effective products, e<\/em>xplains Prof. Colin McGuckin, President and Scientific Director, CTIBiotech<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sebocyte-containing skin models have reproducible sebum production, which is increased by linoleic acid and decreased by Tofa. This is characterized by significant changes in bioimpedance both in the imprinted tissue and in the surrounding culture supernatants. Bioimpedance, linked to sebum production, is therefore proving to be a clean, non-invasive in vitro parameter that can be measured in real time, to design ever more predictive and effective tests: indeed, the 3D models described here and linked to a simple chip system, accurately reflect changes in both skin models and living donors. <\/em>\u00a0\"explains Dr. Nicolas Bechetoille<strong>, <\/strong>Ph.D\/HDR - Head of R&amp;D skin biology, Gattefoss\u00e9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This work will be presented at the 32<\/em><em>\u00e8me <\/em><em>IFSCC Congress in London, September 19-22, 2022<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le s\u00e9bum est un m\u00e9lange complexe de lipides s\u00e9cr\u00e9t\u00e9 par les s\u00e9bocytes et d\u00e9pos\u00e9 dans la couche corn\u00e9e pour contribuer \u00e0 la fonction barri\u00e8re de la peau.
