The two firms previously developed a 3D bio-printed skin model with human sebaceous glands for research into sebum production and regulation ​. In early 2018, following two years in development, BASF and CTIBiotech said experts demonstrated ex vivo ​ production of physiological sebum in a long-term culture of the 3D human sebaceous gland model and the regulation of this sebum production through active ingredients.

 

An anti-inflammatory twist ​ Annika Bröter, communications manager for BASF Personal Care Europe, said the technology behind the 3D bio-printing for this latest skin model was the same, but the research focus different. “It’s a completely different focus, new model and new project,” ​ Bröter told CosmeticsDesign-Europe. This skin model included immune macrophages – important for tissue regeneration and suppressing inflammation – and therefore enabled research into the anti-inflammatory […]
