Lipids produced in the skin, primarily from sebaceous glands, help to protect the skin, not only from the sun, but also heat, chemicals and abrasion.

The CTISKIN team now has the world's largest range of lipid skin interaction tests, including:

-sebocyte growth and analysis

-sebacous glands growth and analysis

-adipocyte growth and interactions

-contribution from the mesenchymal skin element

-Lipid composition

-Lipid droplet segmentation

-High resolution imaging

-3D Bioprinted skin models with printed sebaceous glands

-Lipid bioimpedance analysis
