Measuring soluble collagen in biological samples is a straightforward experiment which can be done with the Sircol

During the last International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) congress (Paris, Oct. 2014), Hajem N. et al (ALES Groupe) have shown that by enhancing MDR activity of fibroblasts

Glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides) are long un-branched polysaccherides which consist of disaccharide repeats. The repeats usually (with the exception of Keratan sulfate) consist of on

Lipodystrophies are disorders characterized by complete or selective loss of adipose tissue from various regions of the body. They might lead to severe metabolic disorders. The development of reliable

Recently I reported about methods to measure:

• Collagen - Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays
• Glycosaminoglycans - How to measure Glycosaminoglycans

A recent review by Nadim et al. casts some light on a Cosmetology and Dermatology, where circulating biomarkers, though studied to a certain extent so far, are yet unknown for many skin models.

Matrix components are key R&D elements in pharmaceutical and cosmetology with tremendous impacts on tissue regeneration, skin repair,

The CRISPR-CAS9 system may well have opened Pandora's box, but it is also definitely the cornucopia of genome editing.

We can do what we want in the genome: settle a mutation, correct a mutation,

Stable expression in a cell lines is very useful for numerous projects. For example, it helps in Eukaryotes for optimization of protein productions and it is convenient for recurrent needs and high

Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan) belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but unlike other GAGs like Heparan sulfate

The monitoring of ECM components during experimental approaches requires robust and user-friendly in vitro assays. In the past experimental methods (e.g. soluble collagen measurement) were laborious
