At the 2026 annual meeting of the Society Of Toxicology (SOT), we will present new data demonstrating the value of our HypoSkin® ex vivo human skin platform as a translational human-based New Approach Methodology (NAM) for early safety assessment. The poster, developed in collaboration with argenx, will highlight how our platform can support early local tolerance screening and help reduce reliance on animal testing in formulation safety evaluation.

Rethinking wound healing: from classical readouts to emerging ways of studying tissue repairEvery day, our skin quietly repairs itself after injury, a process that relies on a complex regenerative program. In this blog, we explore what drives effective wound repair, why some wounds fail to heal, and what it takes to translate laboratory insights into meaningful clinical outcomes.Wound healing: biologicalRead more

The future of vaccine researchThe rapid advancements in vaccine research over the past decade have transformed the way we prevent and respond to infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the development of novel platforms like mRNA vaccines, showcasing the potential for rapid innovation. However, despite these breakthroughs, significant challenges remain in vaccine research, including preclinical model limitations, immune variability, theRead more

Top things found in human skin (vs in reconstructed human skin models) Covering nearly two square meters, skin is our body’s largest organ and a common pathway for administering drugs—whether through topical applications, subcutaneous injections, intradermal routes, or medical devices. With its complex network of immune cells, the skin plays an essential role in testing the efficacy and safety ofRead more

The Silent Crisis in Biomedical Research: Beyond MacaquesFinding an alternative to non-human primates to evaluate human therapeutics In a compelling narrative echoed by Le Monde, the biomedical sector faces a silent crisis, highlighting the geopolitical intricacies and ethical quandaries of scientific research. At its core, the dwindling supply of non-human primates (NHPs), particularly macaques, essential for testing medical treatments, hasRead more
