Last week we attend the 19th “Journées Européenes de Dermocosmetologie”. This year symposium was about “Intercellular exchanges in cutaneous tissues: which prospects in dermocosmetology for fragile skins ?” and we were very impressed by the top tier works we have seen there! We have met academics and industrials who are Read more…
The European Center of Dermocosmetology is a french professional association dedicated to the promotion of a high level of education in cosmetology and dermatology. This year, the “Journées Européenes de Dermocosmétologie” will focus on the “intercellular dialogue in the cutaneous tissue: what perspectives in dermocosmetology targeted on weakened skins?” We Read more…
Cosmetagora is organized by the “Société Française de Cosmetologie” and is one of the major french event in terms of cosmetic formulation. Our study director Pierre-Jean and our business developer Nathalie Accornero will be present during the two days of the event.
On November 7th, the 10th revision of the SCCS’s Notes of Guidance has been released. If you work in cosmetology, you know the importance of this document used to “provide guidance to public authorities and to the cosmetic industry in order to improve harmonised compliance with the current cosmetic EU Read more…
This year, the ESTIV (European Society of Toxicology In Vitro) congress took place in Berlin and was again a very interesting symposium. The plenary session was open by a presentation on 3D models made by bioengineering made by Paula Alves (Oireas/PT), and this year, a lot of presentations and poster were Read more…
Are your interested in meaning full images and high content analysis to asses your compounds properties ? Pierre-Jean, our dermocosmetic expert, will be present at Cosmetic 360 (the international trade fair for innovative ideas and solutions in the fragrance and cosmetics industry), 17th and 18th of October 2018 at Carrousel du Louvre in Read more…
Human and animal microbiota is composed of several type of micro-organism (bacteria, viruses, fungi). Most of them are “commensal” and maintain a symbiotic interaction with their host. Staphylococcus infection is involved in bovine mammary inflammation which can be characterized according to whether or not they have apparent clinical symptoms. By Read more…
Over the last few years, scientists have discovered connections between gut microbiota imbalances and various diseases. Now, in a study using mice, biologists from the CNRS, INSERM, and Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University—together with colleagues from the Institut Pasteur de Lille and the NIH (USA)—have revealed a surprising relationship between Read more…
Every year around 10 millions of animals are used to assess compound’s safety, with a total cost estimated to 3 billions euro. Despite animal testing is mandatory by OECD to guarantee consumer safety, toxicologists are working on the development of alternative testing methods to solve this ethic and economic concern. Read more…
The skin performs important function, including sun protection. Melanin distribution in the epidermis plays a role in photoprotection. Solar radiations induced epidermal DNA damages, mostly in the basal layer, and is an established caused of keratinocytes cancers. Melanin distribution in human epidermis is essentialy located in the basal layer. However, Read more…
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new page dedicated to nutraceuticals! We have developed four assays to confirm the efficacy of nutraceuticals on human and animal cells. Our assays are based on high-content screening and image analysis technology to provide you relevant data with miniaturized assays. Each Read more…
Researchers from the Department of Dermatology of the University of California have a commensal strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis that protects against skin neoplasia. This strain produces 6-N-hydroxyaminopurine (6-HAP), a molecule that inhibits DNA polymerase activity. Mice colonized with this strain have a reduced incidence of ultraviolet-induced tumors compared to control mice (colonized with Read more…
We are very happy to be present at In Cosmetics Amsterdam ! We are here to talk about our news services for in vitro testing in cosmetics. We also bring with us some BIOMIMESYS® samples, so if you want to see our innovative 3D cell culture system. Don’t hesitate to contact Read more…
Wounds can exhibit impaired healing, as a consequence of pathologic failure to process one of the normal stage of healing. Wound healing impairment could be characteristic of the treatments of chronic wounds due to immobilisation, diabetes, and skin infection. Characterization of compounds efficacy on wound healing parameters is important dermato Read more…
Distinguishing aneugenic (chromosomes loss) from clastogenic effects (DNA damages) is essential to assess genotoxic properties of compounds. In order to help you taking the right decisions for your compounds, we developed a multiplex assay in order to discriminate aneugenic from clastogenic and cytotoxic effects of your compounds in one single Read more…
A staphylococcal infection is a common bacterial skin infection due to staphylococci bacteria. Staphylococcus aureus (S aureus) is part of the nasal microbiome and is the most important of these bacteria in human diseases. About 15–40 per cent of healthy humans are carriers of S aureus, and staphylococcal infection has become a significant public Read more…
Last friday (10/11), we presented our neurotoxicity and genotoxicity assays at the French Agency for Food and Safety (ANSES)
We tried light sheet fluorescence microscopy in Bordeaux
This database covers data on over 6 000 substances
3D culture, patients derived culture as iPS, phenotypic screening, machine learning to go to personalized medicine …
